I can't verify that this is true or false, but ignoring the issue of
legality, what exactly is fundamentally wrong with the action?
Legality does not define what is right - only what is legal. So - why
is it not right?

Why? Prohibiting one from doing their due diligence when making a
decision on whether or not to deal with someone seems quite
reasonable. The publication of that is the only part I might have
issue with, but in the case of mail relay detection, we aren't talking
about a security issue. It's an issue of politeness. What is wrong
with people making a list of rude mail servers and refusing to do
business with them?
It seems like a credit union - they collect credit information on
individuals and then financial institues can make a more educated
decision on whether or not to do business with you. (of course, I do
have some privacy issues with credit unions)
