Re: How do you get off ORBS nowadays?

The story goes on... Out of all listed NS(orbs.org)

    NS    orbs.org                  ns1.simkin.ca
    NS    orbs.org                  ns2.simkin.ca
    NS    orbs.org                  ns1.abs.net
    NS    orbs.org                  ns.vuurwerk.nl
    NS    orbs.org                  ns.uni2.net
    NS    orbs.org                  sunsite.icm.edu.pl
    NS    orbs.org                  e-scrub.com
    NS    orbs.org                  orbsns.p80.net
    NS    orbs.org                  ns1.manawatu.net.nz
    NS    orbs.org                  ns2.manawatu.net.nz

it's only e-scrub.com [63.92.26.236] that responds anything different
from NXdomain(relays.orbs.org) (which seems most appropriate to me).

So, those that still "ask ORBS" will accept to receive mail from
anyone most of the time, unless their DNS servers happens to have
decided to ask e-scrub.com. This is called "DNS inconsistency" and
is a Bad Thing (TM).

Sigh.

This doesn't exactly decrease my bias against centralized control of
who is allowed to receive from who, spamming problem acknowledged.
