I think that this would be fine if
already there is a nameserver which tells the world what domain do you have. Usually a mail server is associated to a domain, which should be defined first on a DNS server. There is a "escape" from this situation, to "fool" the MTA with IP Address/Hostname pairs in /etc/hosts, but this is not the correct answer to this problem. The best solution is to designate a DNS server to hold the domain, and to point the mail exchanger to the host what we are talking about, the one with the MTA.
