This is a big wtf, especially since getmxrr() exists. A cursory search
of github (not the best measure I know, but easy) reveals only a few
cases where this function is called without the second argument, and
every case I've found looks like they were expecting an A record, so
this code is likely broken anyway.
In other words, +1 to change this to something saner ASAP.
