Not that I want to complain -
I was going to say that you can have some of mine if you are missing it.
but I have observed a massive drop in (unsuccessful because blocked) SPAM deliveries - only ~10% compared to only 2 weeks ago (or only 20% of the average of this year). http://www.wyae.de/mailstats.png Has anyone else observed this? What might be the reason? Could that effect be amplified even more?
Actually, I am seeing more spam directly evade the existing filters and getting delivered to the end user. Especially things that should be caught such as Spams with the word penis (I work for a Telecom's firm), although my users have figured out how to complain to others that I am a Dick without it being filtered.
Thanks Volker Tanger PS: the massive drop early january was due to a mail server failure, thus does not count...
Regards, Randy
