"Never mind that the town government was using a buggy version of the Lotus Domino e-mail server, and that newer releases have fixed the problem. And never mind that anti-spammers may have been conducting a routine scan for possible sources of bulk e-mail. "
What gave them the right to scan their mail server in the first place? You wouldn't put up with port scans from some script kiddy. Why should we put up with this crap from anyone else? -----Original Message----- From: Ed Santiago [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, March 21, 2002 10:36 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: ORBZ shutting down.

For those that have been doing relay testing with ORBZ. Here is some sad news. From: ORBZ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wed, 20 Mar 2002 03:20:25 +0000 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ORBZ-Secondary] Shutdown >From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Mar 20 12:01:39 2002 User-Agent: Mutt/1.3.22.1i Here's the email that those of you with forward sight have been fearing since the inception of ORBZ. As of this moment, ORBZ is shutting down. DNS zones are going to stop resolving, the website will disappear and mail will stop working (so furthur discussion on this list probably won't work -- use NANAE). I dont want to disappear in silence like ORBS, so I'll try for as much description as possible without compromising my own position. I received an official court notice this afternoon to turn over all information relation to ORBZ accounts. This came from the 10th Judicial District court of the State of Michigan. It appears that ORBZ may be facing criminal charges for denial of service relating to the Lotus Domino issue. I was happy to try to weather any civil issues that may have come up, and I was committed to seeing it through. However, the threat of jail time is too much; I don't believe in this fight quite that much. Thank you all for all your support. I sincerely hope that someone with the goal of carrying on the mission of ORBZ pops up in another country with a less foreboding legal system. Anyone who has copies of the current zones may do with them what they wish. For those of you stuck without good spam filtering, please consider ORDB and SpamCop; they both provide excellent free solutions.
