127.0.0.1 (and more) listed in Spamcop, how to avoid?

Hello readers,

127.0.0.1 as well as many RFC1918 addresses have been listed in
Spamcop yesterday. This caused a lot of wrong bounces in mail to my
users, and a lot of flame in my own e-mail :-}

These should never be listed, of course, but it makes sense that such
addresses should never be checked against blacklists as well.

What's the proper way to manage this? I think of having 127.0.0.0/8
and all RFC1918 networks in mynetworks and put permit_mynetworks
_before_ reject_rbl_client <whatever> in smtpd_recipient_restrictions,
where it should probably always have been (oops).

Any other way?

Greets,
_Alain_
