That's good.  The only useful list (BogusMX) can be discovered without
querying rfc-ignorant anyway.  Just get the MX records for the sending
domain (which are almost certainly in cache) and make sure they resolve
to real IP addresses.

We reject domains that publish MX records in 127/8 or the RFC 1918
networks.  Out of 3.7 million recent messages, we have rejected just
over 26,000 for this reason.  There may be FPs, but no-one has
complained and anyone who publishes such an MX record IMO deserves
to be banned.

Regards,

David.
