RE: [sniffer] New Spam Storm

[Andy Schmidt]

Yes, these messages were caused by Sunday's Sober.O and Sober.P remote update of previously infected PCs, causing them to send out millions of neo-nazi mail. The next update (likely a new spam-wave) is scheduled in 10 days. Some public mailboxes got as many as 50,000 emails in 48 hours to a single account.   SURBL will catch many of them for a while - big problem are returns to faked senders that are not as easily blocked.
