Using www.checkdns.org gives this response -- looks OK to the outside world. What happens if they leave out the uconnvm part?

Sp4 W2K Sp2 A user is trying send an email to a recipient @uconnvm.uconn.edu and it is bouncing. Running the RESTEST.EXE utility fails and states it would have been queued for delivery later. I checked the domain against the http://www.zmailer.org/mxverify.html and find that there does not appear to be any MX records for the domain. When I ran Sam Spade's SMTP tool the recipient address is ok. I believe I recall from a post to the list some time ago that Exchange will not deliver mail to systems that do not contain MX records. If this correct, is there anyway to resolve this short of getting Uconn to put an MX record in there DNS servers. I can already hear there response to this!
