I don't think it's a good idea, it's part of the standard. We have smaller
(legitime) mail servers receiving mails having only A record.  Why would I
need MX record, if A is ok for me?  I only set up MX records when it's
needed (the DNS name itself has an A record already but MTA receiving its
mail is not at the same address as A record would tell), otherwise I leave it
alone with the A record only. I think there is no problem with this
practice.
