ORBS has closed down long ago - and the sites listed as secondaries have got
tired of trying to tell the world orbs doesnt exist (their dns servers keep

1. The *.vix.com zone is gone now. MAPS zones are now served out of
*.mail-abuse.org

2. It will cost you from now on to lookup MAPS zones - no longer free. See
http://www.mail-abuse.org for more.

So try something else - like the lists served from
http://relays.osirusoft.com

*.mail-abuse.org in exim 3.3x ...
