Hello Andrey,
of course.. but RBL requires that a spammer actually exploits a server
before it is blacklisted.. for inclusion in ORBS, a server just has to
be open to relaying.. Makes no matter if it's ever been used for spam,
the mere fact that "it could be" is enough to get it blacklisted.
RBL=Realtime Blackhole List. ORBS=Open Relay Blackhole System
Best regards,
Justin
