We don't have open relays, never did.  AFAIK, we're still on the
list.  We're there because our address provider does have (or did have) an
bunch of open relays within their space.  Then they blocked ORBS from
being able to check, and ORBS felt forced to list the whole address block,
which includes us.  

Our block may be listed in a different category, that I haven't checked.
