Re: [IMail Forum] Spam volume down?

[Matt]

We've been seeing a steady increase in spam ever since I started keeping 
track, in fact the change in the percentage of spam vs. legitimate 
E-mail is noticeably higher on a weekly basis, every single week.  Right 
now we are blocking about 85% of everything that comes in on weekdays, 
and +95% of everything that comes in on weekends.  Thankfully, unlike 
Postini's customers, ours haven't noticed a thing :)

Sorry for the dig at Postini, but their block rates suck as well as 
those of the other large players, and it's beyond me why they can't 
figure out how to do a better job.  Besides, they lie about their actual 
block rates and they put an unfair burden on the client.

Is anyone else seeing a dramatic decrease in the volume of incoming email?
We got our problem fixed with Postini (our problem actually, had to kill
IMonitor) but I'm still seeing numbers that are only 50% of our norm.  No
errors in the logs that I can find other than spammers that can't get
through.  (send error 10054 on known spamming IP's)
