OpenDNS will not blindly redirect DNS queries that look like DNSBL

208.69.32.132
% dig @resolver1.opendns.com 40.30.20.10.www.abcdefghijklmnop12345.com
+short

Note, this still breaks lookups of rfc-ignorant.org and other sites
that blacklist domain names instead of IP addresses.
FWIW, OpenDNS appears to work with rfc-ignorant.org, but that's only because
they know about it: http://www.opendns.com/support/article/33
If you must run an MX host, use a real DNS server.
Agreed!
If you sign up for a free account at OpenDNS you can turn off
their helpful typo-correction feature.
Then OpenDNS works splendidly on an MX.
They do have a clue.
