Great analysis; this matches what I have been seeing but I have not run the
stats as you did.   Spammers have undoubtably been invoking GEN1 or GEN2
Sobig backdoors to send recently.

   There was a big cry recently when Cox cable blocked customer access to
all SMTP servers except their own.   Do they show up in the abuse profile?
That step may be the only solution for the big providers.

   Korea is way ahead of the US in deploying broadband to residential
