Don't make assumptions about which TLDs that are or are not allowed -
the domain part of an email address could be validated with this:

and .anythingyouwant now that the TLD space has been opened up....

@[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]*(\.[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]*)+
A test for total length and valid use of hyphens should be added. See
RFC1034.  Then look up the A record.

An MX record is not required to accept email for a domain. The relevant RFC (can't recall the number right now) states that it should fall back to using the A record if no MX record is present.
