If any of your email comes via ISP "smarthosts" then your heuristic will
(unwisely) block further legitimate email that happens to traverse the
same smarthost...

... in the general case, this is undesirable. You may be able to live
with it -- because of the type of email you receive -- but others may
well not :(

... perhaps that's why :)
