We get a few hundred fake exe e-mails a day, at all hours. My normal delivery rate for inbound e-mail is only about 15%, about 60% of inbound messages are blocked for attachment violations and the remainder is spam and junk.
That said, the last 3-4 months, I've been getting exceptionally hammered with hack attempts on all of my public ip addresses. Mark A.

Just a heads up FYI - I'm seeing a huge increase in malicious attachments coming into our mail server this last few days - generally pretending to be traffic tickets with a .exe file. We normally get a few every day and then but it's not even 10am and I've got 70+ sitting in the quarantine folder today - most of them are addressed to the honeypot. Either somebody likes our honeypot or else the bot builders are back to work. Regards, Edmund Cramp -- (In answer to what she'd like for breakfast) "Just something light and easy to fix.
