don't be naive.  my own email server was listed in ORDB since it
allowed

  <user%domain@mydomain@>

duh
I take my words back: <user%domain@> worked and I got the message relayed.
This *is* an open relay.
It doesn't invalidate my point though: for each black list carefully and responsibly managed there are ten that are completely arbitrary criteria and block addresses not related in any way to spam (e.g. MAPS).

Note.- This message reached you today, it may not tomorrow if you
are using MAPS services. They arbitrarily include in their lists
IP addresses not related in any way to spam, and in so doing are
disrupting Internet connectivity. Please stop supporting them.
