Hello Bob
> Is anyone familiar with ORBS.
Yes.
Get our colleague to visit the website on the bounce.
Some mailservers (and newservers) let people without a password post from
them. This is a security loophole which spammers exploit.
This means that a lot of spam can come from a few mailservers and some
administrators choose to block the mail from these servers by filtering
through a database - ORBS.
Tracking down rogue mailserver is a process of elimination. Your colleague
could try emailing home normally, see if that bounces, then try changing
From: so that the email seems to come from where the email was forwarded
from.
Once pinpointed, forward the bounce to whoever sent the offending email so
the security hole can be plugged.
> I would appreciate comments pro or con.
It is a cost-benefit issue, does the risk of alienating and annoying
genuine people/customers outweigh the unquantified spam blocking benefit?
