Thanks for all of this. I don't think there are any SNF issues - save a current spam storm: 545 new rule already and the day is very young! Some systems see more spam than others, have special needs, or a lower tolerance for leakage. The bursting order of spam sources changes constantly -- so the spam received at any given system can at times see sudden bursts of new spam activity with no apparent cause. This can also happen any time a given system begins to receive new spam sufficiently early when compared to when we see it, or when an update can go out. There are many mechanisms like this in play all the time and they give rise to random peaks and valleys in spam flow on every system -- often these events go un-noticed, but occasionally it can seem as though the dam has burst. In this case I think that a combination of things are happening. Thankfully - a failure in the SNF system doesn't appear to be one of them. _M This E-Mail came from the Message Sniffer mailing list.
