The rate of new spam has remained about constant - this suggests to me that while the deliver mechanism took a hit the generation mechanism is sound. It appears business is good in spam land and the blackhats will shortly recover with a more robust and diverse control & delivery system for their bot nets. I'm anxious to hear other opinions and observations. _M -- Pete McNeil Chief Scientist, Arm Research Labs, LLC. ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[email protected]>.
