Yes, quite noticable, about 50% since Jan. 15 or so, or was it Feb. 15? I
read something about it recently where some researcher mentioned that the
spam influx to mail servers that block a good portion of spam at MTA level
do suddenly get much less spam than servers that take everything in and
process the spam "in-house". But this picture isn't consistent and it also
wasn't clear why this was happening (a new bot that's saving resources for
the targets it seems worth to?.
Anyway, I'm ok with it :-)

That's another matter, it already increased early December to normal. This
new selective drop started end of January from checking my graphs now.

Unless there was another issue than McColo shutdown, it was since November
11, 2008.

I have noticed that... the count of spam processed by SA didn't notificably
(oh damn is this the right word? it's deep night here) change, but number of
conections rejected at SMTP level decreased by 60-70%.
