2) A big part of the ORBS furor seems to be related to hosts that
return 127.0.0.4 (for sites that have router blocks against ORBS), and
127.0.0.5 (which seems to be a catch-all "screw you spammer" code).
Part of the problem is that currently, it's hard to get Sendmail to
distinguish between case (1) and (2).
Use the "beta" "outputs.orbs.org" list instead of the "relays.orbs.org". It lists ONLY relay output points. (127.0.0.2 listings).

"outputs" isn't guaranteed to be around, but as I understand it, it isn't going anywhere any time soon.
