Do you think this would make a CHS> difference? Spam volumes in general are up quite a bit since the german sober incident. In the past few days there have been a few new campaigns that have had a very aggressive delivery schedule -- in particular our PharmacyByMail SHOP friends have been driving a polymorphic campaign using a new obfuscation technique that they seem to like quite a bit. I created a new set of adaptive rules for this campaign this morning (a few hours ago) and so we should be making a big dent in that one. Right now the new-spam rates are high (I'm watching the inbound queues) so I'm sure the spammers are still at it in a big way. (We're on it.) The latest version of Declude may help a bit if you can leverage new features - but the the prior versions are quite effective. You may consider revisiting your configuration and adjusting your weights. Take a look through the spam that is getting through and determine what is or is not catching it in Declude then adjust accordingly. Be sure to submit spam that does get through of course.
