Yes thats the only reason I could think of, but unfortunately this is not the 
case. The sender tried to deliver a normal mail from his mta. I would guess 
that his firewall or DNS wasn’t working correctly, like Stuart said.

Hi,
Thanks. So, if a domain has correct defined mx records only those can be used 
and if they are not reachable for any reason there should never be an attempt 
to reach the implicit MX RR of the domain.


Correct.


The reason I'm asking is I got NDRs from external senders (a few days apart 
from each other) which tried to deliver mails to our domain A record, which is 
not possible. Anyone has an idea what could cause external senders try to send 
to the implicit mx instead of our mx? The same senders do not had problems 
before or after this single event (at least not to my knowledge).


Hm.. if someone tried to send a message using MAIL 
FROM:<[email protected]> then bounces would be directed to 
85.13.128.116, since that host has no MX.


Best
Ale
