I still get relayed spam that is not blocked by ORBS.

This would tend to suggest that some spammers are still searching for
their own relays, but of course doesn't say anything about whether or
not other spammers are using ORBS to find relays.

If I were a spammer I wouldn't use ORBS to find relays (why bother?
there are lots more out there and the ORBS ones are more likely to be
blocked already), but then I've never really had much luck trying to
think like a spammer in the past....
