http://www.ordb.org/faq/, which jeroen claimed to have read, contains a
question: How do I use ORDB to protect my mailserver?

Under this question, there is, amongst the rest, a bit of text which is:
| The theory of operation is simple. Given a host address in its dotted-quad
| form, reverse the octets and check for the existence of an ``A RR'' at
| that node under the relays.ordb.org node. So if you get an SMTP session

                                            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

| from [192.89.123.5] you would check for the existence of:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
| 5.123.89.192.relays.ordb.org. IN A 127.0.0.2


I would say that wording is pretty clear. Therefore the problem existed,
as I said, between the keyboard and the chair.
