Hi Mike,

I actually plan to add that check to checkvalidMX because it's an 
invalid MX and if it's their only MX (or coupled with other invalid 
MXs), than it's indicative of a spammer IMO.

I spoke to 8086 about that back in May whether that was a problem 
because it's outside of their ToS.  This was his response:

"If a domain lists mx.fakemx.net as it's only MX - mail will never be 
accepted for the domain so I see no real problem with it being 
considered as no valid MX. There is an outside case of someone only 
listing fakemx for a period of time before having a legitimate MX record 
but that isn't what the service is provided for."
