Hopefully it will be back.
I made a prediction that ALL the popular (most used) RBL servers could be expected to be taken out by the attackers. Why stop with osirus? If any RBL server is really used a lot and hurts the spammers, then it is in the spammers' interest to kill the RBL servers. If RBLs really are killed, then the credentials approach comes more to fore. Also, there will be more motivation of SPF/DSP implementation. Len
