Joe Jared (the individual behind Osirusoft) has apparently decided to terminate the operation in a rather spectacularly obnoxious manner: returning records for all queries. The TXT records for all addresses say "Please stop using relays.osirusoft.com"
I have heard from multiple people who have been in contact with Joe that this is indeed what it appears to be: he wants everyone to stop trying to use relays.osirusoft.com NOW and it should be considered dead.
If he wants people to stop using it, why doesn't he just kill the software he's running, and post a message?
Because in 5 years he would still be getting hammered with queries. While I find Joe's methodology obnoxious, especially considering the somewhat sketchy information that had been around before, I can certainly sympathise with his frustration. By returning 127.0.0.2 to every querry it will reduce the number o hits he gets in the future DRAMATICALLY.
This might change the definition of "Joe Job"
