Hi,

This message is to those users who use the ORDB.org Open Relay Database in 
their badips configuration.  (If you don't use this, you can ignore this 
message.)

Unfortunately, as of earlier today ORDB have announced that they are shutting 
down.  Full details are at http://www.ordb.org/

We recommend that, if you have an /etc/mailstripper/badips entry that reads
DNS:relays.ordb.org.
that it be removed.

Although not an open relay database, we've found DNS:zen.spamhaus.org. to be 
pretty good.  More details of that at http://www.spamhaus.org/zen/

Regards, and best wishes for the festive season.
