Now, we can speculate

- Is the missing MX RR by intention?

Yes. Is there an email address at mail.imc.org that you wanted to send mail t

- Is the administrator clueless?

Sometimes.

- Is he lazy?

Often times.

- Is it just a configuration error (mail.imc.org instead of imc.org)?

No. imc.org has an MX record, and has for over a decae.

or we could just ask Paul Hoffman :-)

Or, you can be more specific. What is the problem of a host that is 
never expected to be on the RHS of an email address expected to have 
an MX record? That's an honest question, given that it has been over 
12 years with the current setup.

        mail.imc.org leaks.
