I don't think so.  ORBS verifies *delivery* of the relayed test
message, not just acceptance.  RBL requires a history of human contact
and lack of response to the problem.  If there's no problem, no RBL.

Meanwhile, the spammer *thinks* he's sent his message, but it hasn't
gone out.  That part sounds especially amusing to me.
