cj,

mx record important internet specifies name , relative preference of mail servers zone. mx dns record used define host(s) willing accept mail given domain. i.e. mx record indicates computer responsible handling mail particular domain.

without proper mx records domain, internal e-mail delivered users. external e-mail other mail servers in world not able reach server because these foreign servers cannot tell server need "talk" (or open connection to) in order send mail destined domain.
