Look into SIMS <http://www.stalker.com/SIMS/>. It's free and can easily be secured so that it passes ORBS' relay tests. It also has a load of anti-spam features to stop incoming spam. The commercial versions of EIMS does too, but SIMS is free. Sorry about another off-topic post on this thread, but since you brought it up, I thought it deserved to be said. > I wonder if any of the "anonymous" people who run the ORBS site have > financial interests in companies that sell server software?

AFAIK, ORBS is simply overly fanatical about ridding the internet of spam. A noble goal if not taken to such an extreme. There are piles of mail servers not on ORBS that run free software (sendmail, SIMS, etc.), so I doubt there's any financial motive at work. > Anyway, off the EIMS topic, is there any way that my QDNS setup > could be partly at fault here?

My initial reply to this thread addressed the DNS aspect of the question and was thus, cleverly, on-topic... ;-) Christopher Bort
