I looked each of these up and all of them resolved to the loopback
except for nullmx.domainmanager.com which resolved to 0.0.0.0.

        anyone seeing loopback addresses being reported by DNS:
        
        Non-authoritative answer:
        Name:    goodgirlz.com
        Address:  127.0.0.1
        
        (our mail server isn't liking it too much - gives us a loopback
error)
        
        here's a list of sites that seem to be showing this behaviour
for us:
        
        mail.stetic.net
        localhost.bizland.com
        mail.juridica.com
        goodgirlz.com
        nullmx.domainmanager.com
        mail.optinet.de
        
        anyone else seeing something similar?
        
        thanks
