Unfortunately that may be all that becomes of this. I'm not in a
position where I am agile enough to do in-depth research while my
SMTP cluster is being pounded into the ground.

We were being hit hard from all sorts of places and I wanted to
see if the volume was noticably higher for other ISPs. From
responses, both private and public, it would seem that spam did
rise last weekend. Although it may very well be a placebo
effect. People just agreed based on my assertion.

This week has been mostly uneventful for us though.
