So you see, the reputation has nothing to do with your mom, and 
everything to do with the controlling entity, her ISP. Which makes 
the whole address-based sender reputation scheme almost workable, if 
you ignore the scaling issues.

That's suspiciously close to "Ralph Nader or Ross Perot could have been elected
President, if you ignore the scaling issues".  :)

Other than that, what Matt said is correct - the problem is that legitimate
mail can come from literally millions of places whose reputation we have no
clue on....
