They do send notices. Go to www.orbs.org for details.

Do you run open relays? If yes, and ORBS lists you, they are correct in
what they're doing. Of no, ORBS should not be listing you.

If you can say 'no' to 'Do you have open relays?' and 'yes' to 'Does ORBS
list you as having open relays?', then something is wrong. I doubt there
is.
