The message below seems to be a reply to a message by Harald Reindl, who
was blocked from posting to this mailing list in the past for chronic
unreasonably combative behavior. Unfortunately, there's no way to stop
him from reading this mailing list via any of the public archives or a
'stealth' subscription, and he still injects his special flavor of
discourse into the conversation by sending mail directly to list members
instead of via the list.

is rumored to have said:
BTW: "spammers also strife to optimize the usage of their resources"
shows that you know little to nothing!
they are using infected machines all over they world
that bot's are running completly without any feedback because it
would
make it possible to track the origin
even if: other than the bots for free *it would* take rsources to
collect the reject states from millions of boths spear all over the
planet
If your spam network is 10% effective instead of 1% you can ask a
higher price for your service. So you want to make sure you addresses
are up to date. Even if you have a bot network that does not report
back you still use a small % that does inform you. The universal goal
is to optimize, this is not different for spammers.
That you can not think of a way to optimize spamming, does not mean
they are not doing it.
It is very difficult to analyse and argue this, unless you really
target your logging for this. Because if your clients fluctuate, also
your email traffic fluctuates, your email traffic even fluctuates on
periods of the year. I see a drop in the garbage (connections) coming
from your-server.de since I put them on the connection blocking. It
does not mean anything unless I start grabbing the message bodies
before sending the reject.
If you conclude something based on some month, there is no going back
on this. I know people in IT that did not learn anything in 15 years.
As for now, I am not really convinced by your arguments.
