Do all mailers look for MX before A records?

I have this:
www.my.dom    IN    A     a.a.a.a
my.dom           IN    MX    10  b.b.b.b
I want to do
my.dom        IN    A    a.a.a.a
so http://www.my.dom and http://my.dom leads to the same webserver.
I have tried, and sendmail properly delivers to b.b.b.b
But will any mailer use the A record and send to the webserver at a.a.a.a
instead of the MX'ed mailserver at b.b.b.b?

If so I'd have to allow the webserver to relay for all the domains it is
hosting; sendmail will properly relay all misdirected mail using the
MX-record.

Leif
