No sign of abatement over here. Bear in mind that spam often comes from very
few bot armies "Generals", who can use hijacked Windows machines to deliver
billions of messages overnight. A recent study estimated this to account for
80% of all spam. The others are merely irrelevant because the amount they
can generate is limited by the bandwidth on their workstation.
