ORDB has always been good, I have similar low hit ratios but when it does hit its very rarely a false positive. Prior to the virus writers and spammers teaming up to create armies of spam zombies, open relays installed by knuckleheads were the prefered spamming vector, they dont need them anymore especially with the zombie armies on dynamic ip hosts

It seems like we see an average of 5 hits per day from ORDB compared to 20,000 incomming messages. That doesn't seem worthwhile to run this test anymore.

ORDB certainly appears to be up and working (it is the 7th of 8 RBL's that we check - we delete the message after two matches). Did a search of my spam logs for this month and found quite a few matches.
