In the last couple of days, the number of "I RECORDED YOU" spams that my
server has been receiving, has gone way up. Well over a thousand a day.
And the spam is only being sent to about 20 of my users. We had been
receiving these for the last month, but nothing at all like rate it's
now happening. It's not using up a ton of CPU, but it is very annoying
to see happening.
The spam is coming from many different IP ranges, with little
repetition. Most of them are from countries like Afghanistan,
Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan. Are these the
latest sources that spam software is using, because other countries have
tightened up their security?
I've been using spamassassin for almost several decades, and I've never
noticed anything like this. I don't understand why the spam continues
to be sent over and over. I do reject emails with a very high spam,
which these spams have. So I tried changing my configuration to discard
the email instead, hoping the spammer software would decide that the
email had been received. This didn't help. I'm curious if anyone is
noticing this spam. Thanks. - Mark
