I've seen a drop from a peak of around 180 absolute minimum spams per
day recently. Since Christmas it's been down some. One day in the last
week or two it dropped to two digits - about eighty-something spams.
I can't remember the last time I saw it that low. It has climbed back
up to the 130 to 160 level for my accounts lately.
One theory is that a major botherder has lost control of his botnet
and has to rebuild it. Another theory is that the spammers are all
off at CES. I wonder if there are any booths selling spamming software
at CES this year. If there is I note that Nevada gun laws are rather
um unrestrictive.
{^_^} <- Remembers the UZI, Thompson, and Ma-Deuce she fired in the
Las Vegas area some years back. {^_-} (Naw, I am not a fan of
guns. They're tools, just like perl modules.)

Subject: Techworld says "spam shows sudden slide'?
Ok, who installed the swartasam blocker for techworld?
All of a sudden, they say that worldwide spam levels have dropped.
I don't think I see any sudden drop, was the worlds #1 spammer in that
hut in fluga that got bombed last night?
