Or, alternatively,  a lookup to IADB2 yields:

219.86.14.64.iadb2.isipp.com.  1H IN A  127.0.0.40

This means that they have accumulated 40 points in our IADB2 point 
scoring system - this is the aggregate scoring offered as an 
alternative to the individual data-point scoring you've quoted above.

The IADB2 scores are as follows:

Listed in IADB

This is taken from:  http://www.isipp.com/iadb2codes.php

As someone else noted, that means that in order to get a score of, say, 
40 (127.0.0.40), one has to have 4 'hits', or be listed with Habeas or 
Bonded Sender or have all mail be confirmed opt-in plus 2 other 'hits.

40 seems to be a good cut-off for deciding to whitelist something (40 
or above) or not.
