Don't know about the rest of the world, but I'm seeing a big rise in spam over the last 48 hours or so (4 fold increase); could that account for your spikes? From what I've seen the new tactic seems to be multiple threads so it's almost a DOS. Also my greylists are taking a pounding (I'm eternally grateful they are in a different thread pool); almost to the minute the greylisting expires the hits are back. Seems Feb is gonna be an interesting month if this is anything to go by. Nigel
