Back in my youth, I started to use MAP, DULS, and ORBS. ORBS started to block people from the mail server and complaints started coming in from people who couldn't access various mailing list. So I dropped ORBS. Since then, nobody else has complained about being blocked from the list. But I've not reinstituted it.
So did the level of spam you received increase any when you stopped using ORBS ?
The sample period was too short. I was using ORBS for a very short time. I can't recall exactly, but I'm guessing it was less than a day. If memory serves, it took very little time for complaints about bounces messages to arrive. I think I put in ORBs and then removed it within the same day. But that would be an interesting exercise. When spam does arrive, take the IP of the mail server and see if it's in ORBS. -- Dan Langille pgpkey - finger dan(a)unixathome.org | http://unixathome.org/finger.php got any work?
