Why should 127.0.0.1 *not* be included in any blacklist?
Or rather: Why would anyone do a rbl-lookup for 127.0.0.1/localhost?

If some software is querying the rbl for 127.0.0.1 then that software
is severly broken. Actually having 127.0.0.1 in a RBL now appears to
me to be a *very* clever idea, just to make sure that the mailserver
using that RBL is configured correctly!
