It's not a false positive per se; I think I remember this one. MAPS
refused to list Network Solutions for spamming due to the disruption it
could cause with processing domain registrations, despite the fact that
they *are* spamming, and ORBS said "well screw it, if you won't list them,
we will." Or at least that's what's surfacing from the murky depths of my
uncertain memory.
ORBS is not strictly an open-relay list.
