Barry,

MAPS' open-relay blackhole list must have had an actual spam from the 
IP in question for it to be placed in the testing queue.

Just wanted to clarify that. ORBS and MAPS are vastly different in the
way they operate.

A lot of people in the anti-spam community (myself included) disagree
with the way Alan Brown runs ORBS. Alan has carte blanche to test the
servers I maintain; he found a server I'd accidentally left open BEFORE
the spammers found it, and I appreciate that. But I wouldn't use ORBS to 
filter mail.

I am NOT, by any stretch of the imagination, saying you shouldn't be 
upset; I just wanted to clarify a couple points you made.
