Instead of hardcoding this information into the @mx_any logic,
perhaps a global option of "ignore_target_hosts" (or similarly named)
could be set. The global option could default, if not specified,
to the 127.0.0.0/8 and 0.0.0.0 values.
@mx_any could use this value, and in the event that ignore_target_hosts
isn't explicitly set on a router, it could inheret the global value.
This would also be nice, since then I wouldn't have to put
ignore_target_hosts on every one of my remote routers.
Only thing that I dont know is whether some people *want* their
routers to honor loopback interfaces in MX records, so inhereting this
default global could be a problem...
