*.osirusoft.com has gone down and has listed the entire IPv4 range 
bouncing any message from anywhere with the response
Please stop using relays.osirusoft.com.

Some of the SPEWS listings reflect osirusoft listings so are similarly 
contaminated. Both SPEWS.org and osirusoft.com have been hit with DDoS 
attacks over the last few days and it seems that osirusoft.com decided 
the easier route was to stop being a blacklist source.
See the news.admin.net-abuse.email newsgroup for further discussions on 
this topic.
