If you haven't caught this yet, you probably won't get this, but the blackhole
lists at osirusoft.com are blocking *.*.*.* to make the point that the
service is shutitng down in response to a major DoS attack.

It seems to me that there are better ways to do this. I lost a lot of mail
over the three days before I caught it, and I would think legal action
against whoever was attacking your sight would be more satisfying, but I
guess he just doesn't have the resources, and The Man dosn't care about him.
