This  isn't a problem with the "implicit MX" algorithm, it's a problem
with people who don't know how to set up DNS.

If you have an MX record, "implicit MX" is disabled, and no one should
then be hitting the A record unless they're broken.

It's  only  bad  if  it  happens  because of a _broken_ MTA algorithm;
"implicit  MX"  is  not  inherently  broken,  though  it  is  becoming
increasingly deprecated.
