Subject: ORDB.org is shutting down
Date: Tue, 19 Dec 2006 05:17:38 +0700
From: ORDB <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: Announce <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>


We regret to inform you that ORDB.org, at the ripe age of five and a
half, is shutting down. It's been a case of a long goodbye as very
little work has gone into maintaining ORDB for a while. Our 
volunteer staff has been pre-occupied with other aspects of their 
lives. In addition, the general consensus within the team is that 
open relay RBLs are no longer the most effective way of preventing 
spam from entering your network as spammers have changed tactics in 
recent years, as have the anti-spam community.

We encourage system owners to remove ORDB checks from their mailers
immediately and start investigating alternative methods of spam
filtering. We recommend a combination involving greylisting and
content-based analysis (such as the dspam project, bmf or Spam 
Assassin).

DNS and the mailing lists will vanish today, December 18, 2006.

The website will vanish by December 31, 2006.
