And, reasons?

Who knows, maybe there's some new exciting spam bot out there... maybe the spammers were anticipating a defeat of SpamHaus...

I love those type of graphs. All scare tactics. Notice how at the exact same point the amount of spam shoots up, so do the number of clients using the service? Notice how both the amount of spam and number of clients folow the same trends?

Hmm, scare tactics.

Well, I can correlate this to my own server. My spam has increased 843% in the last 6 weeks.

Reasons? Because they can-can-can???

Since the demise of Blue Security, I think spammers lost any sense of fear they had left.

It will end only when sending messages will require buying "stamps", as in real life. Otherwise, email will die.

I look at my SpamAssassin headers and I can't believe my eyes when I see that an obvious spam message has a BAYES_00 score.

Certainly seen an increase in spammers on my blog (comments). One day some 200 got posted waiting to be approved in a few hours.

However spammers registering, especially at my forum, have not had the same increase.

whay the sites published in spam emails are not closed? This is the only way to stop the spam.
