So you're seeing a varying amount of ham, peaking during work hours, but a
constant flow of spam?

That's about right -- spamware never sleeps, whereas legitimate
user-to-user mail is sent when people are around to send it ;)

You know that is quite an excellent,  refreshing, and logical

am happy with spam results for the day.

Thank you all for the insight,
