A dire la verita' anche lo stesso ORBZ e' stato pesantemente criticato di
recente sulla ml di qmail. Riporto una risposta di Russel Nelson sul merito:

No, no, I *want* to be listed by ORBZ.org.

Yup.  The more machines in their database which are not open relays,
that aren't sending spam and have never sent spam, that send email
that people *want* to receive, the more impetus there is to drop
orbz.org and switch to a blocking service that doesn't spam.

The problem is that ORBZ sends out email with an invalid envelope
sender.  That's *exactly* what spammers do.  There is no good reason
for doing this, under any circumstances.  I don't understand why Ian
is doing this.  My first guess is that he's stoopid(tm).

Di seguito un estratto del mio file di startup di qmail:

tcpserver -v -p -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c "$MAXSMTPD" \
	-u $VPOPMAIL_UID -g $VPOPMAIL_GID \
	0 smtp rblsmtpd \
	-rdev.null.dk \
	-rorbs.dorkslayers.com \
	-rrelays.ordb.org \
	-rrelays.osirusoft.com \
	....

bye,
Ethan
