The .de generally comes in every discussion about them. I think everyone
knows this is an error. The funny part is that the "major" contact for
this site is German.
Some other tlds are listed for good reasons (i.e.: .be, .eu).
However, of course, this is still not a good reason to deny mails based
on their whois list.
bogusmx and dsn are far more useful.
Some people use, for example, the DSN list to _not_ do callouts for
these domains. So this may be a whitelist system too.
