 While it may be inaccurate, I'm sure a quick glance will reveal a
"Hey, does dyn-reshall-xyz.dyn.myschool.edu really need to be sending
mail directly at all?"

 Clicking on that address for more information, I see it's in four
blacklists, but they never asked me about it.  Oops, time to take it
down.

 It's still a useful tool, even if the Richter-style metrics are not
accurate.
