SpamAssassin users: Osirusoft is broken; don't use it

Apparently, after having been DDOS'ed, the Osirusoft people have "given up the ghost" and are now returning back every IP as a spam source when queried!"
I've added this to my ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs:
score X_OSIRU_DUL 0.0
score X_OSIRU_DUL_FH 0.0
score X_OSIRU_OPEN_RELAY 0.0
score X_OSIRU_SPAMWARE_SITE 0.0
score X_OSIRU_SPAM_SRC 0.0

I suggest you do the same. If you manage SpamAssassin for a site rather than a personal delivery, you'll need to add similar lines to the site-wide configuration.
