sbl.spamhaus.org has new non-spam results

sbl.spamhous.org will return 127.255.255.254 to indicate an invalid query, which Synchronet interprets as a spam indication:

Also, something seems to be awry with IPv6 lookups since I get this: X-DNSBL: 2610:1c1:1:606c::19:2 is listed on sbl.spamhaus.org (see http://www.spamhaus.org/) as 50.16.218.27, but a manualy lookup shows NXDOMAIN:
