The reason above.net is not allowing Orbs to scan is because the owner of Orbs wants to scan every domain in the world for open relays and that would get people banned who don't necessarily carry spam, but because they have an open relay, such an undertaking would have extremely dangerous consequences and is unrealistic on its own merits.
