Spam count down today
The spam count today was unaccountably low, about 3/4 of normal. Did some
spammer get "busted" or "broken" very recently?
If so the tale would be fun to hear.

Heh, I heard the (possible) tale. Poor boy got his nose boo-booed. Mommy
wants to rub salt on it to make it feel better. I'm not at liberty to
assign IDs to the boo-boo-ee or the boo-boo-or.

These few days, I feel that number of spams are getting larger a
little. They just set their sights on Japan?

Odd, I got my usual 165+ today. FWIW, my spam count usually runs between
165 - 200 daily. Note, this is just a home, one user system. Matter of
fact it looks like I got an increase in stock market spam today.

For what it's worth, our spam counts are also significantly down.
I think the main spammer that's been doing the Rolex and Mitigating drugs
went on vacation with the stock spamer for a few days.

I guarantee that is not the case. I see every email that comes to my
addresses, score them, and sort the spam to a spam folder for review.
(Actually I do have the Earthlink AV tool turned on. So if a botnet
switched to virusing I might not see it's mail. But a solid 25% reduction
is "remarkable" in that regard. I'd not expect it.)

Most likely you dont see them all since they moved to new stuff that
doesnt get them scored. We added various custom rules to get them in
again.
