My viewpoints are somewhat dated. The persona-non-grata status of MXs  
pointing to CNAMEs – that verbiage appears to be new to the current SMTP  
standard, I checked and did not find any equivalent language in the prior  
one; so my implementation reflected that.
Be it as it may. I do not see any technical issues with MXs pointing to  
CNAMEs, except that an additional lookup is required to resolve the CNAME in  
most cases. If this is not within the scope of the current standard, then I  
would not set up my domains like that.
