Why the hell doesn't the ORBZ software just send out a MAIL FROM: header that doesn't have the remote side's address?
Because the point is that they are trying to find any configuration that permits relaying. If they can find it, so can spammers.
Some open relays are set up in such a way that they would not relay messages with MAIL FROM [orbz] but would with MAIL FROM [127.0.0.1].
