stonehenge.com has *never* had an A record, and yet I certainly get
my share of spam.
My "high MX trap" trips up about half of the incoming spam, however.
So they certainly are looking at MX values.
But apparently not at the actually name (spamtrap)
nice.

I never had a dream come true
'Til the day that I found you.
Even though I pretend that I've moved on
You'll always be my baby.
I never found the words to say
You're the one I think about each day
And I know no matter where life takes me to
A part of me will always be...
A part of me will always be with you.
