As a quick update, I'll point out that two years ago, ORBS may have
been called IMRSS and/or Dorkslayers, a distinction without a
difference.
I just received proof positive that Greg is an ORBS supporter, just in
case the trolls were not recognized as such. He won't accept email
(from my SO's home).... Yet, last time I checked, Earthlink didn't
allow outside relaying -- and I cannot send SMTP thru Earthlink to my
own ISP, as port 25 appears to be blocked.
