About two years ago the <vijay> promising local ISP </vijay> I worked for saw the number or ORBS-listed hosts withing its netspace go from ~400 to over 3,000 in one week. Among the listings was a class C where EVERY HOST, 254 IPs, in the block was listed. Granted, each one was an open relay, but the point is that each IP was individually relay tested. When questioned about this, Alan Brown reponded that he had "received an unusually large number of nominations" for hosts in our netspace. Uh huh. Sure. -C On Thu, May 24, 2001 at 02:04:02PM -0400, Greg A. Woods wrote:
