In the case of APER, the entire list is publicly downloadable, so I don't think making it available via DNS introduces any additional privacy issues. Handling '@' within a DNS record is a solved problem (see the SOA record). You just replace it with a '.' If we were worried about the (extremely unlikely) clash between "b...@sub.example.org" and "bob....@example.org", we could just use the sha1sum of the lower-cased email address as the DNS lookup key.
