Osirusoft Blacklists The World

"As of today, Osirusoft, distributer of the SPEWS and open relay
blocklists, among others, is no longer operational. Servers using these
lists (including the FTC) are currently rejecting ALL email"

"We contacted Mr. Jared by phone who informed us that 'everyone needs to
stop using Osirusoft and that he's going to be shutting the service down.'
Then he says he's going to blacklist 'the world' (aka, ban *.*.*.*) to get
his point across. Later on this evening, he apparently went ahead and did
just that"
