We have seen some unsettling blips in the amount of spam hitting our systems.
At the following link you can see the number of new rules generated per day for Message Sniffer. Note that since about 4 days ago there has been an unstable, but definite increase in new spam.

In particular 3 days ago 816 new rules, and 1 day ago 763 while nominally we should see 400-500. It's too early to tell what's going on but it seems certain enough that something has changed.

Has anyone else noticed a volume increase in spam mail
lately, it seems that in the last 2 days the amount of
spam mail hitting my system as doubled, I have ensure
no changes have been made on my server, open relay
etc.., I have run my logs and am not showing any of MY
Ip addresses as the majority senders.  Has anyone else
seen this, I am currently running declude spam and
have it insert the x-rbl-warning header then using an
imail rule to dumb these messages into a junk box for
my users but so many emails are going right into their
main box and not getting tagged as spam.

Any help is appreciate, it seems like we are losing
the spam battle.

Thanks

Greg
