Any email service that allows anybody and everybody, including persons
unknown and creatures from the dark side of the Force, to use their smtp
server will be listed as a bad guy on the ORBS database. Many ISPs will
automatically bounce any message relayed to them from the bad guys. I
can't use the Telebot service (http://www.telebot.com) to send a perfectly
legitimate email message to my sister because her ISP says Telebot is a
bad guy. BTW, I haven't checked on this situation recently. It is
possible that Telebot has since cleaned up its act.
