The Register is running an article saying spam is back up to 81% of all

If anything, my traffic has been less of late, and almost non-existant
since in installed 3.1.5.

I'd agree with el reg, we've seen a large rise in spam and viruses of
late and we are not a large org by any means.

Hm, I have a suspicion that the spam is being targeted quite differently
then. Until the end of June I used to get about 250 to 300 spams a day.
I am down to 90 to 150 per day now. It's unreal. Note that I am quite
sincerely pleased by this development.

I see an increase in messages with non existent sender domain as well assome new
bcc-addressed stuff
I am counting only my own email and have Earthlink's anti-virus inline
before the email even gets to me. If the composition of the email and
the modus of attack has changed that more or less explains the huge
drop that happened over the weekend before the Fourth of July.
