Explain how yours works on the same level or better.

Nobody claimed that it could.  Tell me what percentage of open relays are
listed in MAPS.

MAPS does not probe like ORBS does.  By its more conservative nature, much
more spam gets by MAPS than ORBS.  Is this good?  Is it bad?  Judgement
call.

Let's factor in the cost of wasted bandwidth when one gets hijacked, and
the cost of having an MX handle the extra spam traffic.
