no_mx_record: the domain has no MX record

invalid reason: no_mx_record

The domain exists, but it has no MX record, so it is not set up to receive email.

What it means

An MX (mail exchanger) record tells the internet which server receives email for a domain. This domain exists in DNS but publishes no MX record, so mail sent to it has nowhere to go.

Why it happens

• A domain used only for a website, never for email.
• A new domain whose email has not been set up yet.
• A company that moved to another domain and removed the email setup from the old one.

What to do

• Remove the address from your sending list.
• If the contact matters, check the company's website: it may use a different domain for email.
