Explain how yours works on the same level or better.
how a MAPS-blocked system can relay spam.
Nobody claimed that it could. Tell me what percentage of open relays are listed in MAPS. MAPS does not probe like ORBS does. By its more conservative nature, much more spam gets by MAPS than ORBS. Is this good? Is it bad? Judgement call.
Yes, I'll concede that your approach may work, albeit at higher HW cost than my approach.
Let's factor in the cost of wasted bandwidth when one gets hijacked, and the cost of having an MX handle the extra spam traffic.
