FWIW, There was a thread here about folks on @home receiving SPAM a short
while back. I don't know about on-the-inside but on-the-outside, I have
had to add <*@*home.com> to the rejection filter of my anti-SPAM software.
I was getting upwards of a dozen, sometimes more, SPAM coming in with the
@home.com in the header as origin. I checked out several @home servers
and they all had SMTP relay holes which allowed them to be exploited by
SPAMmers.
I'm not a fan of ORBS; however, @home does need to address their vulner-
abilities in their servers.
