Thanks for the response, Oliver. Looks like Manitu dug out the folding chair and fired the super perforator :-)

Indeed, at around 10:20 the rejects stopped again.

Generally, the measure seems to have an effect. Some larger mail service operators probably removed the list after a short while, as some stopped rejecting way earlier.

I'm aware Manitu/Nixspam shut down a while ago, but iirc they promised RFC 
compliant slow shutdown. As of today we see an increased number of rejects due 
to Manitu listings. A quick lookup of some samples indicates that 
ix.dnsbl.manitu.net is returning 127.0.0.2 for every query. Thus any mail 
administrator still querying that list results in their clients having a very 
quiet inbox today...
Can anyone confirm? Is there a statement from Manitu?

They complained in February that still 1 million requests per hour are sent to 
the DNSBL and started to send out emails to the abuse contacts of the querying 
IP addresses. Maybe they were not happy with the results and decided to list 
the world to bring down the numbers? I don't know. After about two hours of 
returning 127.0.0.2 for everything the DNSBL responds with NXDOMAIN again.
