there is no such process.

yes, and they started spamming from new addresses

no

IMGate still works

there is certainly more spam volume that a yeag ago, and there will be more 
next year.

>IMHO Public wireless networks are the main reason for this rapid increase.

A large, increasing source of spam is from subscriber networks (cable, DSL, 
ISDN in Europe), so the subscriber filter would probabl add a lot of rejects

>Hmm, any ideas ?

you need to add some more blacklists, look at pflogsumm reports daily and 
for a whole month to see what IPs and ClassCs are connecting too much, look 
at the 4tuple reports for received msgs to block, etc, etc.
