I exempt hosts in dsn.rfc-ignorant from callouts, and when I run across
a domain with a broken mailserver like this, I report them to
rfc-ignorant and then inform the postmaster of the domain that I have
done so, and include a link to rfc-ignorant's site. After that, it's up
to them if they want to be decent netizens or not.
