Re: Spam Decrease?

Whereas my personal mailbox went down to about 180/day for a week and
has been slowly climbing the last two weeks. It got back to about 220
last week and yesterday it was back to maybe 180 spams. That is down
from 250 to 280 per day levels.
{^_-} Joanne. The applicable immortal words are "YMMV".
Not really. We are still getting around 140,000+ messages a day that are
spam :-(

Decrrese!? Since June my spam %age has gone from 64% to 70.5% of all mail. It's depressing. Nigel On Wed, 28 Sep 2005 22:05:57 +0100, Dean Baldwin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >Not really.

Re: Spam Decrease?
Leo is sweating I am told. I have not gotten a Leo spam in the last
week that came from a reachable site. His DNS servers are getting blown
and his web sites are getting torn down faster than his emailings get
around to my address thanks to "someone's" good efficient work.

RE: Spam Decrease?
I have seen about a 2-3% drop in spam with about a 10-15% drop in email volume.
