ORBS blacklist is BROKEN (deliberately)...

[Matti Aarnio <matti.aarnio@zmailer.org>]

This is a good representative sample of things I am seeing right now.

The crux is that those who broke it are running a very black version
indeed.  Doing command:

  dig @63.92.26.236 any *.relays.orbs.org.

will show you A and TXT data FOR WILDCARD ('star') ENTRY!
AND ONLY FROM THAT ONE SERVER OUT OF THEM ALL!

I also went around and checked all other alike services.
The grand-father of them:  RBL  (www.mail-abuse.org)  is now
A SUBSCRIPTION ONLY service, thus it also is out of the picture...
(Except for those who want to subscribe it.)
