A simple way to check the existence of MX records for sender's domain
is to use dnsdb lookup in rcpt ACL:
deny
message = Mail from domains without MX!
condition = ${if eq{${lookup
dnsdb{mx=$sender_address_domain}{$value}}}{}}
I think this is should be used with caution. In order to avoid denials
of legal messages you may to replace 'deny' verb with 'warn' and
watch mail log.
As regards the A records I guess the 'verify = sender' should check this.
Good Luck!
