Do a

Dig pobox.com.rating.cloudmark.com TXT   or
Dig pobox.com.rating.cloudmark.com A

Very exciting and clever

When I tried several big ISP names, it came back <127.1.100.100>, but
when I tried our own domain name, it came back as
<Name Server Error>. I assume that is because our domain
name does not exist in their rating server, and
a normal mail server would reject mail on that basis. To be
effective, it  should always return something.

I agree. My domain is not yet listed either (of course). I tried a few
others, though; like:

asarian-host: {root} % dig kundenserver.de.rating.cloudmark.com TXT

; <<>> DiG 8.4 <<>> kundenserver.de.rating.cloudmark.com TXT
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch

1M IN TXT  "Confidence: 0"
1M IN TXT  "Status: Insufficient Data"
1M IN TXT  "Cloudmark Rating Version: 1.0"
1M IN TXT  "Service Policy: http://rating.cloudmark.com/sidtoc/";
1M IN TXT  "Rating: 0"

The "Status: Insufficient Data" / "Rating: 0" should be the default reply
for all not yet listed servers, IMHO.
