"The lookup first attempts to locate an MX record associated with the
name. ... If one or more MX RRs are found for a given name, SMTP systems
MUST NOT utilize any A RRs associated with that name unless they are
located using the MX RRs..."

You're right, I mis-remembered that part and got it backward. Though, I'm not sure that it matters if all you're doing is checking to see if an e-mail domain is valid -- if any of them is good, it's valid. If you have to actually deliver the mail, of course, is where my bad memory would become important... :)
