[RPZ] RPZ and MX

Our primary aim in using RPZ is to protect web users
by directing them to a walled garden.

It appears that RPZ is also affecting MX records
in the blacklisted zones.

Is there a way to exempt MX records from the
RPZ process?

We recognize that this does present a risk as
it would provide a possible mechanism for
extant malware to "phone home".

Thanks,
John
