Just added your address to my access list.
Usage of ORBS is now in a testing stage here -- I turned this on yesterday, to
see what will happen.
Abusive practices... Well, I know and agree (but this case, with above.net,
is a bit different). But here, at Russia, usage of orbs/rbl/etc is not widely
spread, and there are a tons, tons of spam that comes from open relays...
I got about 30..100 messages per day from our Russian spammers, and from china
sent by open relays, and since a few hosts using rbl, and a few people even
considered that spam is not a good thing, our spammers can't be in rbl --
just nobody wants to enter them to here... :(((
I reported about 50 hosts to rbl, and all of these are there, but I spent
a lot of time writing to their postmasters, their isps etc etc, and I'm enouth
with this. We pay about $300/month for just spam!

Interesting that almost all of those hosts also is in orbs list, and this
solves the problem -- now I have only 3 spams in my inbox instead of usual 60..200.
And a lot of postfix's notifies :).

This will be very good if ORBS will not filter legitimate mails... :)
