Folks,
Just saw this on NANOG as well. Looks like outdated anti-spam
configurations will now be turned into "reject everything" servers,
courtesy of Verisign/NetSOL.

Subject: Verisign's New Change and Outdate RBL's
Was playing with a test box here at home. Installed SpamAssassian
from a newely cvsup'd ports tree on a FreeBSD box, and was surprised
to see messages getting marked as received in blacklists that no
longer exist. Most noteably ORBS. Since this was a fresh Install I
hadn't gone through and removed the dead RBL's from 20_head_tests.cf
yet. Since dorkslayers doesn't exist. any queries for it are
returning that infamous sitefinder address.
[doon(_at_)fawkes doon]$ host 34.131.246.64.orbs.dorkslayers.com
34.131.246.64.orbs.dorkslayers.com has address 64.94.110.11
So anybody that hasn't update their SpamAssassian config, now has
the added benefit of all ip's being tagged as an open relay.
Just an FYI
-Patrick
