We've saw about a 15% increase a few days ago, and it has stayed there. 
Bandwidth increase was significantly more than that, though.  Took our 
primary mail server from 20-40% cpu to 50-80%.  We just upgraded last night 
to deal with it.

Spam has significantly increased in the past 7 days due to new bot
nets (from old friends) and a number of new tactics for generating pdf
and related spam and their mutations.

I've attached a new-spam/leakage analysis from our primary spamtraps-
you can see that new traffic quite literally more than doubled (like a
vertical wall) 7 days ago.

Hope this helps,
