The ORBS pages are abundantly clear that relays.orbs.org does NOT contain a list
of spammers AT ALL but of open relays or potentially open relays.  These CAN be
used for spam, but it isn't AT ALL necessary that they HAVE been used.  Read
their pages.  Using relays.orbs.org is a BAD idea IMHO as the other lists, such
as RBL are more specific.
