Wrong. It does more. It also fights against people/companies who
think that blocking ORBS' relay tester is correct. That effectively
means that email sent from the PHP project's email server will
not be received by anyone who subscribes to ORBS, because the server
happens to be hosted at Above.net.

I prefer RSS. At least RSS doesn't block so much legatimate email
while it is quite good at killing spam.
