Our rejects on our postfix gateway (for dictionary attacks, and to weed
out the malformed stuff) have been in a steady decline since around the
first of the year.  I had to bring in some spam stats for a meeting to
justify the time spent setting up IMGate and I made a chart which showed
just the accepts/rejects per day for the first two months this year and
the decline in rejects was obvious.  You can see it at the link below:

So postfix is rejecting less crap, but the accepts are staying about the
same.

>Has anyone else noticed any decrease in spam levels?

Since subscriber networks are a huge source of spam, 30 -40%?, as
network operators start blocking egress to port 25, there could be
noticeable reduction.  But not many operators, not the worst violators,
are blocking port 25, yet.

I think it was AOL who reported 15% drop a few weeks ago.
