Second (or higher) level relay _is_ a false positive. My ISP has
been listed recently because they're doing a smarthost for clueless
companies with dial-up connectivity (and no relay checks). What
should the poor ISP do?
1. Tell the customers to go f*ck themselves and cut their service.
2. Automagically detect that the customer is being relay-abused.
3. Block ORBS tester.
4. Let the remaining customers suffer because the smarthost is
blacklisted.
I've been using ORBS for some time, and I ditched it; having multi-
level relays listed was as much "collateral damage" as bombing of
Chinese Embassy.
