 Just checking with the list if they have seen an increase in the amount of
 spam messages caught.

 Last monday and tuesday my mail servers are flooded with spam.

 My smartermail server that usually process 30 to 40 K per day, processed
 on
 monday 120K and 94K of them where caught as spam.

 On tuesday processed aprox 110K, and 85K where spam.

 My spool and forward server processed over 140K yesterday. Reviewing the
 spool I would say that almost all spam, a lot of them trying to relay on
 my
 backup server

 Do you guys saw this spam increase?.

 btw. message sniffer, INVURIBL and declude worked fine.. I am happy I have
 them.

Ugh...Ok, lets all cross our fingers, turn around three times, and throw a
pinch of salt over our left shoulders so it doesn't happen...
