ORBS gets name change

The new owner of the ORBS anti-spamming database, UK-based Paul Cummins, has renamed the service ORB UK, (the open relay bashers), which operates the open relay block zone (ORBZ). Mr Cummins changed the name to distance the service from the problems of previous owner Alan Brown. Last month ISPs Xtra and Actrix won an injunction against Mr Brown who listed them on the ORBS database as hosting open relays.
