ORBS have effectively shot themselves in the head. In any event,
while I agree that DNS-based spam blocking is effective, I think
it a blunt tool that hurts innocent users who've no idea what
their ISPs are doing. What really pisses me off, though, is
the ORBS random tests - they tested my mailserver once, discovered
no open relay, but came back again two days later anyway. ORBS
were blocked at my firewall thereafter until I took my server down
when I moved. They stay on my personal shit list until I get a
personal letter apologizing for attacking my server.

I know little about MAPS, so, for once, I have no opinion. ;-)
