Hell, ORBS doesn't make sure about that either. Imagine a
customer behind a normal 28.8 dial-up. How much spam can he
send through his "open relay"? ORBS tester also only tests if a
single message gets through; but for a real spammer, less then ten
thousand messages per hour is too slow.
ORBS also lists tarpitting people, although as spam relays they
are unsusable, too.
ORBS also lists people who allow only limited relay (only 40
e-mails per sender address daily).
Should I go on?
Open relays per se aren't bad; unguarded open relays behind a
thick cable are bad. ORBS doesn't mind a difference. Sorry, not for
me; in fact, enough for me to preach against.
