I wouldn't recommend ORBS, these people use a sledgehammer to
break an egg. Their list contains entire country domains, entire
ISPs, and every open relay they've ever found. At one stage they
had the almost whole of aus and nz on their lists - consequently,
there's a danger of filtering out too much legitimate mail,
particularly if your customers aren't in the US, or receive email
from outside it. That's why the list is HUGE ;-)

Try the RBL (realtime blackhole list). They work from reports of
real spam incidents and nothing else. And that list isn't small
either.
