Sigh, I run a mail list on a friend's majordomo server, he also is
blocked by ORBS, probably for much the same politically motivated
reasons (said friend is heavily involved with MAPS).  Anyways, a
subscriber has recently had his messages bounced by cwo.com ... anyone
know anything about these guys?  I've emailed their admins suggesting
that they should reconsider using ORBS, or at least qualifying it, but
gotten no response (of course, it IS a holiday weekend).
