In the immortal words of Simon Higgs (simon () higgs com):

SOAs with bogus.domain.names pointing to 127.0.0.1 appear to be causing 
email to bounce (amongst other things). 

If there is actually an MTA out there so broken that it tries to
connect to the server mentioned in the SOA MNAME field instead of the
MX or A record for that domain, I'd be inclined to consider this a
benefit, not a drawback.
