Funny, I just submitted patches for -tldcheck, which uses Net::Domain::TLD to check whether the top level domain of an email address is valid.

Anyway, I would make -mxlocalcheck default to 1 if you're doing -mxcheck. And I would add a check for 192.168.xxx.xxx to that also. Just knowing whether there is an MX record in the DNS doesn't tell you much by itself. You want to know whether it is likely that mail can be delivered. The extra check make the result more reliable and should therefore be done by default.
