Currently, pyspf gets temperror for an MX mechanism and an MX record with
an empty name like the above.

What should the correct result be?  Should the mechanism simply fail
to match?  Or permerror?

I am thinking that since 

$ host ''

returns no records, that an empty MX name should simply produce an empty
list of A records (so that if that is the only MX record, it would
fail to match).

However,

$ dig ''

says: '' is not a legal name

So maybe the result should be permerror.
