I don't have a lot of sympathy anymore for ORBZ, Spamcop or others, after wrongfully being blacklisted at least twice in the last six months. They were quick to correct their records when I finally figured out why my clients weren't getting mail, but I shouldn't have had to put up with that. I've never had an open relay, and always passed ORBZ' intrusive tests (which I found offensive, too). Somehow I still got blacklisted. They were just too careless and didn't seem to care if they blocked (or their information was used to block) legitimate servers. I hate spam as much as anyone, but blocking legitimate mail is too high a price to pay.
