   "The lookup first attempts to locate an MX record associated with the
    name.  If a CNAME record is found, the resulting name is processed as
    if it were the initial name."

   "If an empty list of MXs is returned, the address is treated as if it
    was associated with an implicit MX RR, with a preference of 0,
    pointing to that host."
