RE: [cobalt-users] orbs-relaytest

["Clark E. Morgan" <prlhkr@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't know how much "pull" orbs has out on the net proper; but they
can tell the difference in most instances between a legitimate spam
preventative measure and some other means of defeating their tests.
As a rule, you will get dropped in their database if you elect the latter,
which is not any less difficult than securing a sendmail installation
against the things that they search for. Judging from your entries here,
I'd say you passed anyway so no harm, no foul. I think they are a little
on the self-righteous side myself; and I've known them to pose problems
to responsible sysadmins who did in fact run secure installations; but
anyone who can help keep the crap out of our mailboxes is an ally in my
book.
