Hello,
it's not really an exim issue, but I know we've some mail/RFC gurus here
:)

Indeed, the first MX of kugelbus.de (mail.kugelbus.de) doesn't exist (missing
A record).
Does exist some standard (RFC) saying that it's fatal mistake to have no
A record for the first MX? (But such mistake can happen anytime - if my
first MX is outside of my domain, and the MX-Admin decides to remove the
relevant A record. Than I'd rely on my second/third MX.)
(BTW: Exim seems to handle such situation the way *I* expect - the mail
is still routable.)
Best regards from Dresden
