Re: Spam on the decrease?

Global spam traffic rebounds as Rustock wakes By Jack Clark

"On Monday the Rustock botnet, responsible for a significant portion of the world's spam, resumed activity after pausing spam operations on 25 December."

"As if spam has returned to work from a long holiday break, volumes have been sharply rising this fine Monday morning to levels similar to those observed before the 12/25/10 'vacation'," Proofpoint said.

PS the link is to the  zdnet source, hope that's ok
