More. The whole ISP's in Russia filter out ORBS; then ORBS can try to list the whole Russia in their black lists... I'll get a lot of pleasure to see how they can do it. -:) /I am not in Russia now, but anyway/ No, if you cry every day _there is a wolf and he'll eat me_, no one believe you; and if you met the real wolf with the real sharp teaths, no one help you. Just as in this case - the futher the less people can use ORBS. On Thu, 13 Jan 2000, Edward S. Marshall wrote:

That's a damn shame.
If ORBS can't test you, how do you propose they determine if you're an open relay? Take your word for it? Accept a piece of spam from someone who says they received it which has your SMTP server's headers in it (which could just as well have been forged)?
Their answer was that if they can't test you, they have to assume you're operating open relays. I'd love to hear your thoughtful answer to the problem.
