* This is the modus mailing list * Isolated, maybe! Its just the fact these have got through. I sumitted them to spamtrap3
Also spam was at a higher rate over the weekend so that accounts for more coming in to get through. I usually run at appx 80,000 a day in the quarantine database (24 Hour Catch). Friday and through the weekend it jumped to appx 150,000 caught. Which is appx 47,000 more than the peak of 103,000 of any given period. The only thing is the ones that got through have been taking place even before upgrade to new version 277 That is why I submutted them to spamtrap3 was because they were using (;) and breaking up words. Each email diifferent products from sex to viagra, to just a nonsense ad. I was getting these in several email boxes, and at the rate of appx 5-10 different ads at each incoming session. Then other times in the day, same thing would happen, and this time you may get some of the same ads, but hey they would move the (;) to different areas. Its almost like I am being used as a TEST Site for spammers to look for holes. Very ignoring!, and downright as low as one can go. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John D.
