Bug description:  getmxrr returns an invalid false message when...

getmxrr is designed to return a list of mx records found for a host.

According to smtp rfcs, if no mx records are found, then the hostname's A
record is considered to be the lowest mx.

Take for example the following hostname:
genet.sickkids.on.ca

This is a separate zone which does not have any MX records.  It has an A
record and that suffices for people to receive email on that hostname.

getmxrr should be changed so that it should also return true if:

no mx records are found, BUT an A record exists for the hostname.

Why?
Because smtp rfc's state that if there are no mx records, the A record
should be considered to be the lowest priority "mx" record.
