All from outside -> in.. I've been averaging about 110K-130K emails per days, with about 4-5K allowed thru as being considered valid. Knock 10% off the delivered amount for false negatives (delivered but are really spam). Rest are spam or invalid recipients and viruses. ******************************************** Mike Maloney Sr. System Engineer Middlesex County College 2600 Woodbridge Avenue Edison, NJ 08818 Phone: 732-906-7754 Cell: 908-217-2086 Fax: 732-906-4266 Email: MMaloney () middlesexcc edu ******************************************** -----Original Message----- From: Paul Sutton [mailto:pjsutton1 () yahoo com] Sent: Thursday, December 06, 2007 7:24 AM To: dudevanwinkle () gmail com; Maloney, Michael Cc: incidents () securityfocus com Subject: RE: Anyone have a reason for 2x the email flow today? Is the increase of traffic from inside out or outside in? PS Can you determine the nature of the increase? Is it just spam/junk? I'm seeing a significant increase in my personal mail due to Spam/Junk mail just within the last week. -----Original Message----- From: Dude VanWinkle [mailto:dudevanwinkle () gmail com] Sent: Wednesday, December 05, 2007 2:00 PM To: Maloney, Michael Cc: Ring-of-Fire () yahoogroups com; funsec; Full-Disclosure; incidents () securityfocus com Subject: Re: Anyone have a reason for 2x the email flow today?

I was finally able to do the numbers: We do 1,000,000 emails a day We did 1.3 million that day..
