Maybe you didn't check the "General listing policies" given on the 
rfc-ignorant.org www-site, or missed this (it is right in the beginning 
of that page):

"In many cases, there is no non-obtrusive method of determining whether 
or not a site meets the criteria. For example, there is no definitive 
way of testing that <postmaster at domain> will fail if the mail server 
doesn't reject it at the |RCPT-TO| stage - if you commit to the |DATA| 
stage, and you're *wrong*, then the recipient postmaster gets your test 
message in their mailbox. It is this site's firm belief that, if a site 
*is* obeying the RFC (which they are, by having a working address in 
that case), that the site owner should not have to delete a message from 
a tester"

So, no testing is done, according to the above.

According to the above, there is no testing -> your entry will be marked 
"ok" regardless.

Hmm. Why? As you probably know, postmaster is reserved for handling mail 
problems of that domain. I don't think that the rfc-ignorant.org has 
problems with it's mail system.
