Hello Michael & Sniffer Folks, http://reports.messagesniffer.com/Performance/FlowRates.jsp Logs since about 0523.0100 have shown a spike and a heavy increase. I was also called in on a new image spam wave early this morning (about 6 hours ago), and there is a new snake-oil spam going around - just text about canadian drugs and a link - but prolific, lots of bandwidth, and an inexhaustible supply of domains (luckily that's not all we use). Today seems a stair step up from the previous spam storm alert a few days ago. 48 hour image attached. Note: We've throttled back one of our heaviest spamtraps to keep our sampling more current (the increased volume was causing some queueing). As a result, the peaks on the graph are lower than they might normally be... the shape of the graph is the important part of the image. The flow rates analysis (link at top) shows the "shelf" starting at 0100 and building. Hope this helps, _M -- Pete McNeil Chief Scientist, Arm Research Labs, LLC.
