OT: Have You Noticed Something Similar

I find it to be cyclical.  I get reports from IgLou's MailBlock (largely
SA, with some other filters and RBL's as well), and sometimes it's up in
the multi-thousands in two weeks.  Other times it's down by 50-70%.

Don't get too excited--it won't last.  :(

And don't credit spammers with that much intelligence.  By definition,
they're idiots by any measure.
