Orbs is fairly sloppy. I used Orbs for about 35 minutes one day,
and it tagged legitimate mail from 3 separate sites that don't allow
relay spam (and only one of those sites was caught because of a
"don't probe our network" .4 block.) The Vixie spamblocks seem to
be much better, if backed up with local stuff to catch the spam
generation sites that he's been bullied into not putting into the
rbl.
