Yes, but knowing that a host has been seen sending good email is useful
information - it might make you less likely to reject.

Perhaps more useful for bayesian analysis would be a result that encoded
the proportion of seen mail that was ranked as spam. For example, returning
an IP address 127.0.0.xxx where xxx varied from 0 for no spam to 255 for no
ham.
