Spam continues

[Adrian Crafer]

As has been noted by other the level of spam has been greatly
increased over the past few days. From my analysis I can also confirm
that the 'gan' is the only server putting spam assasin headers on
emails, all other servers are not doing so. All servers are putting in
the grey/white list headers.

Any chance of an update on this Paul as nothing has changed with this
mornings email down load, with 'gan' still being the only one
apparently dealing with spam correctly except for the grey/white bit.

One e-mail and 17 spams this morning. The number of e-mails that are not
legal businesso business advertisements outnumbers all others
comprehensively. I look forward to a speedy conclusion to this.

Echoed from here. I've been logging messages since 0800 in 27/11/2007,
and the figures are:

Total messages 200
Spam total 85
Only "greylist" header 60

It seemed to get a bit better in the 24h from 0800 yesterday:

Total messages 129
Spam total 38
Only "greylist" header 23

but still not ideal by a long way, and nothing like to what we have
been used to. I haven't been logging which servers are involved,
though.

Any comment?

With best wishes,

Peter.

Sorry, I forgot to update the Fireworkz file. The correct totals, as
of now, are:

Total messages 368
Spam total 124
Only "greylist" header 97, i.e 78.2% of the spam getting
through.

Paul, I know you have the show to deal with, but any idea of what is
happening would be much appreciated. As I have said, the worry is
that, since the greylist headers started appearing, the amount of spam
has increased. I know it's a never-ending battle, but ...

With best wishes,

Peter.

Is it though? The spammers have not found new ways of inviting me
to have my breasts enlarged, cure my erection problems, or supply
details of my bank accounts - yet these old spams still arrive.
