This item is on the Wish List, but I'm afraid it has not made it into
the forthcoming 3.14 release.
(126) 05-Jan-2000 M Rejection of 127.0.0.1 addresses
Apparently there are some domains in the DNS that have A records pointing to
127.0.0.1, which cause defers/freezes etc if anyone tries to mail to them. The
requirement is for a way to pretend that such records do not exist. This should
probably be per-router.
