No. Make sure you don't get listed in ORBS. If you get listed in ORBS, that
is for a good reason - blocking your machine blocks illegally relayed
email.

If one of your customers runs an open relay, you should force your customer
into fixing it, or make sure yourself that they can't cause any damage.
Open relays found by spammers tend to cause great network-loads too.
You should not get used to being listed in ORBS. You should make sure ORBS
has no reason to list you. ORBS is not there to cause you trouble, ORBS is
there to help people avoid problems. If they want to.
