We run spamassassin here, which is what their system is based on.

Spam levels at my company are up! Hell look at my charts: http://brain.chcfl.com/postfix

Obviously i dont see nearly the traffic they do, but when your running at 98% on weekends and 93% during the week, thats just nuts. Of course that doesnt count rejected emails.

Oh speaking of new tactics, i am now getting emails at home that are making it past the filter in outlook(set to high). Every single email that comes in, in this particular format, comes right to my inbox. I am now getting about 7 of them a day. All formatted the same.. Its stupid though, theres one line of text and a colored background... i dont read it and it gets deleted. So is it really effective spamming or are they just going for "get it in their inbox" now?
