All three lists seem to be quite different. After an hour of testing with
hundreds of connections rejected because of spamtraps etc, one ORBS list
triggered on mail from a Mindspring server (securely closed) and several
spam sites; another triggered three or four times on closed servers and more
than a dozen times on open servers; the third only triggered once in three
days...on a uu.net server...that *was* open. The first two lists appear to
be using too much of the old ORBS database, but maybe the third list -
orbz.gst-group.co.uk - has actually tested their addresses before
publication. I expect all three lists will continue to improve.
