AFAIK, 169.254/16 is the autoconfiguration range for private networks that don't have a DHCP server.

That said, I have seen people use it for other internal purposes and it isn't usually an issue.
I am moving more to assume ms are idiots. this seems to be the default config for exchange clusters.

So, we open a bugzilla and put 169.254* addresses into 'local_networks' by default? like rfc1918? it the example, sa sees the internal (trusted) 172* ip, and sees 'first untrusted' (the 169* address!) spf fails, rbls are consulted. all could be avoided if ms actually followed RFC's
