listing for 127.0.0.1 SHOULD indicate that the DNSBL has started

and again, in point 3.5:
« A functioning DNSBL MUST NOT list 127.0.0.1. There are a number of
mail server implementations that do not cope with this well, and many
will use a positive response for 127.0.0.1 as an indication that the
DNSBL is shut down and listing the entire Internet.»
"Listing 127.0.0.1" is not the same as "returning 127.0.0.1".
Damm. FAIL. :-D
