The DNSBL Email Basura is no more. Email Basura ("Trash" in Spanish) appears to have been online since at least 2004, according to the Internet Archive. This anti-spam blocklist's DNSBL zone was "bl.emailbasura.org."
The domain emailbasura.org seems to have expired and been purchased by a domain speculator. The domain has wildcard DNS entries, meaning that any use of the old DNSBL zone in your email server may result in your server blocking all inbound mail. You don't want that! Remove the DNSBL zone "bl.emailbasura.org" from your mail server configuration as soon as possible.

Status of combined.rbl.msrbl.net: FIXED
If you use any of the MSRBL DNSBLs, take note: For the second time since 2017, the domain msrbl.net has expired and its name servers are responding positively to any DNS request.
This has the net effect of the DNSBL "listing the world." If you use any MSRBL blocklist in your mail server, you're blocking all mail from any IP address in the whole world.
So....don't do that!
The MSRBL's website at msrbl.com is up and running, but the DNSBL zones are not under "dot com" -- they are under "dot net."
June 14, 2019 Update: Looks like the DNSBL has been restored and is no longer "listing the world."
