Getting listed makes it more likely that your email will be accepted - if
the sites using rfc-ignorant as a whitelist outweigh the sites using it as
a blacklist. So, if I'm a site refusing null senders, and my mail is being
refused because of that, then I can fix the problem (for some sites) by
listing myself at rfc-ignorant!
