Re: Someone hacked anti-spam database. World bouncing email

Osirusoft is not hacked, all indications simply point at Joe being tired of
having an outdated DNSBL list . Letting every single query return a positive,
labelling everything as listed, is the perfect way to get the needed attention,
especially since most Osirusoft users have been unaware of the ongoing DDos
attack.

This is old news in news.admin.net-abuse.email and
news.admin.net-abuse.blocklisting. No hacks, but intentional misconfiguration.

As it says, stop using relays.osirusoft.com as a DNSBL since it is outdated and
can't be properly updated due to ongoing attacks from spammers.
