Is there any way to point an MX record to the list? (or make dreamhost do it?)

My email provider refuses to enable fallback to de A record, and postfix's 
documentation makes their argument pretty rational:

===========
ignore_mx_lookup_error (default: no)
       Ignore  DNS  MX  lookups that produce no response.  By default, the 
Postfix SMTP client defers delivery and tries again after some delay.  This 
behavior is required by the SMTP standard.

       Specify "ignore_mx_lookup_error = yes" to force a DNS A record lookup 
instead. This violates the SMTP standard and can result in mis-delivery of 
mail.
===========

(man 5 postconf)
