Also good to note: Dialtone recently restored a machine that originally provided service as a name server for relays.osirusoft.com ( dialtone.osirusoft.com ) , and in spite of problems with their network has not recinded that usage. It will probably serve other needs shortly and is a valuble contribution to the fight against spam. Do not confuse this with special treatment, just acknowledging dialtone's contribution.
