If any of you have been wondering about the increased number of spam
reject notices lately, it's because one of the more popular spam lookup
systems, Osirusoft, is dead due to dDOS attacks:

If you or your ISP are using spam filters, make sure you disable the
Osirusoft checks, or you'll risk incorrectly bouncing a ton of mail.
