No, the other broken thing is that someone has a single point of
rejection. As I said before anyone who blindly accepts or fails based solely
on a single data point provided by someone else is, to put it bluntly, an
idiot. It is in this same way that RBLs are broken and this is nothing more
than a single domain RBL.
