Increase in SPAM

December 24, 2006 – 10:10 pm

I’ve noticed something of a fairly large increase in the volume of spam I’ve been receiving over the last 3 days. For instance in the last hour my DSPAM on my VDot email had stopped over 50 spam mails. With the previous 4 hours it stopping over 400.

Been debating switching from DSPAM to Spamassassin too, not sure if it will make a huge difference but I was thinking about doing it to make use of the OCR features that have been added. Will have a more detailed think about the mechanics of switching over the Christmas period, it will have an impact on the mail management setup on the VDot box due to the integration with vexim and Exim.
