Yes, actually a lot of people use the rfc-ignorant blacklists, including me. I would suggest that if you do not want to stay listed in the rfc-ignorant dsn database, that you start accepting null sender messages, as the RFCs specify, otherwise you will find more and more of your messages being rejected by other mail servers, and your users will never be advised if messages they send bounce.
