Is the increase of traffic from inside out or outside in?
PS


Can you determine the nature of the increase? Is it just spam/junk?
I'm seeing a significant increase in my personal mail due to Spam/Junk
mail just within the last week.

I've noticed a 30K increase per day in traffic..

I was finally able to do the numbers:
We do 1,000,000 emails a day
We did 1.3 million that day..
Something must have happened...
