Your mail to Cygnus is not affected, only gcc.gnu.org (and I believe
sourceware) use ORBS.

Well, the situation is clear. ORBS has an officially documented policy
of listing all hosts that firewall it or refuse being checked.
This is necessary, else sloppy providers simply could do exactly that
and avoid being listed.
(BTW, have you checked http://orbs.php.net/DAT/manual.html? It seems
that RR did exactly that in the past.)

FWIW, http://www.orbs.org/hallofshame.html documents this as well.
