They must've changed something, then.  I've had exim configured to add
a MAPS-based warning header for quite a while and last week I noticed
that all incoming mail was getting the headers

X-RBL-Warning: (inputs.orbs.org) MAIL BLOCKED; See http://www.e-scrub.com/orbs/
X-RBL-Warning: (spamsources.orbs.org) MAIL BLOCKED; See http://www.e-scrub.com/orbs/

added.  The referenced URL states quite emphatically that continuing to
use the ORBS service "_will_ result in rejection of up to 100% of all
incoming E-mail, both spam and non-spam."
