I have the following set in /etc/MailScanner/spam.assassin.prefs.conf

# OSIRUSOFT RBL service broken!
score RCVD_IN_OSIRUSOFT_COM 0
score RCVD_IN_OSIRU 0
score RCVD_IN_OSIRU_DIALUP 0
score RCVD_IN_OSIRU_PROXY 0
score RCVD_IN_OSIRU_RELAY 0
score RCVD_IN_OSIRU_SPAM_SRC 0
score RCVD_IN_OSIRU_SPAMWARE 0
score X_OSIRU_DUL 0
score X_OSIRU_DUL_FH 0
score X_OSIRU_OPEN_RELAY 0
score X_OSIRU_SPAMWARE_SITE 0
score X_OSIRU_SPAM_SRC 0

And it seems to be working fine....
