ORBS is dead, and has been since the beginning of June. There is no replacement
for the RBL or the DUL; all the other ip-based lists are open relay lists, and
as such, free replacements for RSS. I think it would be unwise at this point to
recommend any of them; none of them have been in operation long enough to
establish their credibility.
If you're using the MAPS services now, you should really consider subscribing.
If you cannot afford to pay according to the published fee schedule, contact
MAPS and offer them what you _can_ afford to pay (or, apply for an
individual/hobby site subscription if that applies in your case).
MAPS does _much_ more than just provide tools to block spam.
Vince.
