As usual, when this thread comes up, I'll point out that there is a vast gulf of difference between whim-driven scanning (ORBS) and any of the lists from *actual*abuse* (MAPS RBL and RSS) or volunteered information from network mangers/direct observation (MAPS DUL). See http://mail-abuse.org/ for full details. Regardless what any spammers, lunatics on usenet, or press-release- and mailing-list-post-regurgitating so-called journalists think, there is no connection between the two. Do not lump them together, period.
