I considered the same thing as you, initially.  Went back and looked at 
the raw headers though, and the early Received headers - shows the 
messages were still coming in over the course of the weekend rather then 
just say Friday night and then it was a queue purge.

My filters kicked in on Sat evening once I added something to counteract 
the whitelist for nanog's mails (going through nanog servers), so I'm 
missing alot of the later spew from Sunday.
