I find that the Spamcop system has a much lower instance of false blocking. Their systems block hosts and domains that are actually sending spam, rather than just targeting open relays. I have had no incidents where management was upset over missing email since ditching ORBS/etc. Although, I definitely see more spam get through.

Keep a close eye on the email its rejecting for a while. I had to drop all of the services except spamcop as most of them were too overzealous in their blocking. Most businesses cannot afford to miss any important email.

Based on the advice I got here, I implemented a 48 hour test on one of my best test case domains. They were was getting about 80 - 100 SPAMS a day (very consistently) across just 2 users. Today they got a total of 3. I wish it was zero, but that is a MAJOR improvement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for all the advice Joe (and others). You may have just made me a star around here! Of course, that means I'm going to have to get the checkbook out and start donating, because this service is going to be worth it's weight in Gold to my customers.
