normal.

No harder than usual since July 1. On that date, almost like a switch was
flipped, spam to my accounts here dropped about 50%. I've been wondering
about it. 250-300+ per day went down to 100 to 180 per day.

Now, as for ssh attacks and other port "activity" it's been pretty bad
lately. (WTF is on port 41126? DSL dropped. The new address seemed to
have had boxes from all over the world trying to connect on port 41126.
It was so bad the connection died. Hey, it's <hiss><spit>Verizon based
DSL. They don't maintain their wires very well.)

We've been getting hammered off and on the past three weeks. I've seen a 
large increase in dictionary attacks (nah nah nah milter-ahead) and 
forms-phishing. Now the stocks are rising again. Came at a bad bad time 
for us.

My smtp refusals are running about 120k to 140k per day, 80k to 90k are 
getting in, and I'm delivering 25k. The rest are grabbed by SA and 
MailScanner.

logo change for Memorial Day. Why do they choose to do logos
for other non-international holidays, but nothing for
Veterans?

Maybe they forgot who made that choice possible.
