While I've heard that ORBS catches a lot of spam, it is also run by an individual who has been known on a number of occasions to add entries out of spite or as part of a personal agenda unrelated to blocking open relays. I would never use orbs as anything more than informational, and encourge everyone else to do the same.
Well, my experience is different. Once upon a time *gg* my mailserver was also open for relay and I received a mail from ORBS that my server was entered. I contacted the website of the board and the webmaster directly. On the website you can find, who gave the information about the unsecure webserver to ORBS. We contacted this person and were told what happened. So, for every entry in the database, you can see who is "responsible" for it. If there should be any entry which shouldn't be there you can find out what happened and let the netry be deleted. BTW: On the website you can enter the IP of your server and the server will be re-tested automatically. If there should be no open relay, the entry will be deleted, also automatically. So, I can't see any problem... yours --- Stephan
