The last couple of days have been a spam roller-coaster. I saw about a
90% drop off on our spam attempt volume for about 18 hours after these
guys were taken out. Same thing for a couple of clients that use managed
anti-spam appliance. Then, it took off again. Clients are back up to
about 80% of 7 day average blocked volume. I am seeing volume that is
exceeding my 7 day average.

I guess this is just another 'whack-a-mole' problem...
