Hi all,
relays.osirusoft.com (a DNS-based blocklist) now reports
every IPv4 address as listed. it also returns a TXT message
asking you to stop using it. The exact reason why its
operator (Joe Jared) decided to take this decision is
currently unclear, but apparently it's been suffering DoS
for over six weeks which may have sthg to do with it.
This may affect you if you run SpamAssassin or other
DNSBL-using anti-spam systems; I'm told that the default
config uses this service.
Will.
