If you need help, one place to get it is in the [1]

populated not only by anti-spammers but also defensive and/or
disruptive spammers, flamers, net-kooks, and trolls (with some
overlaps in roles). If you must post there, you should lurk (read

Chebucto Community Net. I also invite you to take a side trip or two and
have a look around my site or the CCN site. You may find something else

* ORBS is a little controversial. Some consider it to be a great
tool for combatting spam while others see it as another source of
abuse for refusing to stop testing servers for anti-relay
security. Whichever side you take in this dispute, I still feel
that access to the [66] ORBS web site should not be blocked
because those who have email blocked by ORBS-using sites should be
able to find out why they are listed with ORBS and, if it is a
relay-insecurity, fix the problem so their email is no longer
blocked. If you are blocked from accessing the ORBS site, try
following [67] these instructions.
