I think spam is *way* up the last week or two. My server started hovering at
a load average of around 55 a week or so ago. I started doing some
investigating when I realized that the load was not coming down. I found
that My server has been taking between 400,000 and 500,000 messages per
day. A few months ago, it was more like 150,000 to 200,000 per day.
Unfortunately,
I moved logging over to a new syslog server recently, so I can't say whether
the increase was sudden or gradual. I think some of it has been gradual, but
it sure feels like it's only been the past few weeks that we've been getting
hit *really* hard. After deciding that the load average was likely due to
actual spam load, I implemented a couple of RBLs at the MTA level. My load
is now back down between 1 and 3, and messages making it through to SA are
now back to around 200,000 per day.

Quoting ccrowley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I reverted to 3.1.3, and I still see the very high LA. So it does not appear
to be a function of the upgrade. Probably just a lot of traffic.

Just a quick inquiry. I updated from 3.1.3 to 3.1.7 yesterday. I'm seeing
substantially higher LA on the system. The system used to run at a range
of 2.x - 8.x LA. With 3.1.7 I'm seeing 10.x - 50.x.
I'm in the process of reverting to see if the behavior persists or is
eliminated. But, I thought to check to see if anyone else has experienced
similar behavior?
