[Thinkpad] [TPlist] Re: List issues RBL?

Hello,

I'm more of a desktop guy than a networking guy, but I'm wondering if
this problem might have something to do with the fact that Osirusoft,
the maintainer of a spam blacklist, shut down after being the victim
of a DDoS attack. Before shutting down, the owner blacklisted *all*
IP addresses. I read about this from the following message thread on
Slashdot's web site:

Regards,

Aryeh Goretsky
