Barry, MAPS' open-relay blackhole list must have had an actual spam from the IP in question for it to be placed in the testing queue. Just wanted to clarify that. ORBS and MAPS are vastly different in the way they operate. > Oh, and a word from ORBS' fearless leader: > > From [email protected] Sun Feb 7 23:11:52 1999 > >As for you, fuck off.

A lot of people in the anti-spam community (myself included) disagree with the way Alan Brown runs ORBS. Alan has carte blanche to test the servers I maintain; he found a server I'd accidentally left open BEFORE the spammers found it, and I appreciate that. But I wouldn't use ORBS to filter mail. I am NOT, by any stretch of the imagination, saying you shouldn't be upset; I just wanted to clarify a couple points you made. -- North Shore Technologies, Cleveland, OH http://NorthShoreTechnologies.net Steve Sobol, BOFH - President, Chief Website Architect and Janitor Linux Instructor, PC/LAN Program, Natl.
