A nice large sample source of spam volume measurements is Senderbase:

th&action=&screen=&order= (URL split due to length; use

Date     Spam Volume (billions)
Jan 22   192.7
Jan 21   227.7
Jan 20   320.1
Jan 19   299.4
Jan 18   153.3
Jan 17   165.9
Jan 16   172.9

Note the doubling in volume from the 18th to 19th. Assuming that's not
some sort of artifact, that's pretty dang impressive.

Joe
