"In just 12 hours, one bot alone sent out 42,298 spam messages,"
That's almost exactly 1 per second. They either have a really shitty SMTP implementation or they're trying to fly under the wire. Meanwhile, we try to send out that many e-mails *per minute* on a fairly regular basis (Hey, the campus police want to send out an advisory, it better be out the door in like 2 minutes after they hit "send" - we've been burnt on this before).
