Wow! Sure would like to try and help the guy out. I am not familiar with the Lotus Domino issue? Is there anything as a group we can do to help?

When ORBS died, there were tons of rumors, many so widespread that most people just assumed they were true, but few actual facts. Since the ORBZ site is no longer reachable, there isn't an easy source of reliable information. I know that there is discussion on the SPAM-L list about it, but has anyone on that list actually verified that it is true? I just didn't claim it to be a fact because of the ORBS incident, which took a couple weeks before it could be proven that ORBS was really gone. I just don't want to see another "A friend of a friend of my brother's wife's sister in law's favorite bartender told me that..." (which often gets written in an E-mail as "It is a fact that..."). -Scott FWIW, I received this moments ago..... ----- Forwarded message from ORBZ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- Date: Wed, 20 Mar 2002 03:15:49 +0000 From: ORBZ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Shutdown Here's the email that those of you with forward sight have been fearing since the inception of ORBZ. As of this moment, ORBZ is shutting down. DNS zones are going to stop resolving, the website will disappear and mail will stop working (so furthur discussion on this list probably won't work -- use NANAE). I don't want to disappear in silence like ORBS, so I'll try for as much description as possible without compromising my own position. I received an official court notice this afternoon to turn over all information relation to ORBZ accounts. This came from the 10th Judicial District court of the State of Michigan. It appears that ORBZ may be facing criminal charges for denial of service relating to the Lotus Domino issue. I was happy to try to weather any civil issues that may have come up, and I was committed to seeing it through. However, the threat of jail time is too much; I don't believe in this fight quite that much. Thank you all for all your support. I sincerely hope that someone with the goal of carrying on the mission of ORBZ pops up in another country with a less foreboding legal system. Anyone who has copies of the current zones may do with them what they wish. For those of you stuck without good spam filtering, please consider ORDB and SpamCop; they both provide excellent free solutions.
