Use OSIRUSOFT yes or no?

[Mariano Absatz]

Osirusoft is not a single list, but a compendium of various lists... they are 
available separatedly, or you can check for the actual A record that you get 
from relays.osirusoft.com 
see http://relays.osirusoft.com/faq.html#_Toc533558165

Specifically, Osirusoft (relays.osirusoft.com) includes SPEWS 
(spews.relays.osirusoft.com) that is a list with intentional high collateral 
damage (read http://spews.org/faq.html).

You can, instead, configure the individual xxx.relays.osirusoft.com RBLs or, 
instead, configure the large one or the individual ones _inside_ SpamAssassin 
and not directly from MailScanner. The latter allows you to weigh in the fact 
that a source is listed, but not ban it completely... you can configure the 
weight itself by giving each RBL a higher or lower score...
