Is it true that BBN blocked ORBS? I find that quite astonishing, if it is indeed a fact.
It isn't true. I'm on fairly good terms with BBN/GTEI's security admins. The list of secondaries should provide some idea of the support ORBS has worldwide: relays.orbs.org name server ns2.alaweb.com relays.orbs.org name server ns.asimov.net relays.orbs.org name server metallica.roka.net relays.orbs.org name server ns.fh-kiel.de relays.orbs.org name server skynet.simkin.com relays.orbs.org name server sunsite.auc.dk relays.orbs.org name server callisto.poteidaia.net relays.orbs.org name server ns2.austria.eu.net relays.orbs.org name server bajusz.iif.hu relays.orbs.org name server ns.uni2.net relays.orbs.org name server orbsns1.p80.net relays.orbs.org name server orbsns2.p80.net relays.orbs.org name server ns.orbs.mirrors.degnet.de relays.orbs.org name server nic.aix.gr About 50,000 nameservers are making lookups in ORBS at frequencies which suggest mailservers doing the queries - and there are some "interesting" organisations using ORBS for mail filtering purposes who'd prefer the world didn't know about it.
