I've used orbs myself and like it (www.orbs.org). And I normally stay pretty quiet on the list, but these spam's seem be increasing in frequency. That and if one of these guys is being used as an relay unknowningly, it seems like someone should call them as a courtesy. We can just report them, but I know I'd like a call first if it was my server. Jon Christopher Schulte writes: > At 01:16 PM 4/6/2001 -0500, Jonathan D.
