I think just about everything has been said beyond contacting the operators of the online testing tools and requesting that they update their tool or to take it down. A broken tool is worse that no tool. The is too much out-of-date stuff on the Internet. We should all be doing our little bits

Dear all, I put the “Null MX” Record (RFC 7505) into one of my domains yesterday, then those online mail diagnostic tools out there start getting me worried: It looks like most of those tools do not recognize the Null MX as a special case; they just complain that they cannot find the mail
