There exists sites which do not have a nice block of IP addresses
which describe all of their valid mail relay users.  For such sites,
tarpitting is a much better solution than relay blocking.  MIT is one
of them (many of its mail relay users are customers of random outside
ISPs), and has had numerous problems with ORBS as a result.

above.
