A US ISP that apparently has hosted a lot of spam senders has been taken offline:

ISP McColo Shut Down After Connection Found To Spammers - Security - IT Channel News by CRN and VARBusiness

A grest relief - spam influx have been reduced to a mere trickle right now. Anyone else noticed?

Not that I expect the calm to last for long, though :( - there will be other ISP's offering their "services".

I have two (personal) email accounts - one gets no spam, the other usually gets loads. I wondered why I wasn't getting much on either...

A spam trap of mine took a breather of 36hours, before the onslaught resumed.

The meds and stocks spam has dropped yes, but the eastern european/chinese/russian spammers/scammers have increased their efforts from what I see.

I'm back to normal after the lull.

Gmail beats spammers hands down.

I always wondered how they knew I had a small p3n15?!

my personal account has only recently been hit with spam, but only a few a day, for the past 6 years ive had none.

I've only recently started getting spam too. didn't have any at all for years, now I'm getting all sorts of nonsense.
