ORBS gives no warning. None. I can say this speaking as a SysAdmin who
had one of his mail systems listed for a day.
It was a system with old spam rules that didn't catch a non-intuitive
double-@ form. The first I heard was an email in the middle of the
night saying we had been added.
I'm not a real big fan of ORBS. I personally use the RBL and I believe
the RSS. I prefer lists that trigger after an exploit, rather than
actively attacking systems and listing them.
