Observation - New Year reduction in spam
A typical day sees about fifty spam e-mails to my work e-mail address getting trapped by Postini according to the report I receive each morning, and about twenty arriving in the spam folder of the personal e-mail address that I use exclusively for web shopping.
During the past week however both mailboxes have been the target of but a trickle of spam - 1 or 2 e-mails per day and yesterday and today, nothing. Zero. Zilch.
Probably simply a sign of how many PCs have been switched off whilst their owners have fun celebrating, but I have never seen this large a drop off at Christmas or New Year before.
I recall that one of the world's biggest spam botnets was recently shut down too, but have other PPRuNers also noticed the same thing over the past week?
