checking mx is simple, but it might not be the right server for imap, 
smtps, submission, this data would be better to check mx domain, and 
then use the mx domain to find srv ports used one this main domain, to 
find what server hosts is for imap, imaps, pop3, pop3s, smtps, 
submission, all that is custommer only ports, and plenty of vps hosters 
abuse this from ther mta setups

automx2 exists on github trying to be better world, but it needs ssl 
certs for all maildomains, with is imho more complicated then using srv 
dns

this would be more simple for the dns hoster to have all this then add 
all this to hosted domains
