I've had messages stopped by the RBL check because bl.spamcop.net would
return data for localhost (but the warning URL was not valid.) That
might have been a temporary error as I was using the list for long time
without getting this problem.
I also know that some of my colleagues have occasionally had mails
bounced as spam due to the localhost entry, but I haven't got any
details about the receivers or actual checks.
