Perhaps I'm crazy, the numbers don't make sense. But here' the scenario. I
upgraded from mail_version = 1.1.6 to 2.0.16 yesterday. Almost immediaoty I
seemed to notice the numer of SPAM message reduced. This morning I have
received a couple of calls expresseing surprised and satisfaction with the
dramatic reduction in SPAM. I was expecting to see a huge increase in
REJECTED. However the percentage is actually lower today 58% today and 91%
yesterday. The total number of messages received yesterday was 20K less than
the previous day. So did SPAMMERS take a holiday yesteray or should I stop
smoking crack in the morning ?
