Thanks for the pointer. The other question is whether I have noticed any effect on my own spam intake. I'll give a full report at the end of the month, but a quick glance at the logs shows no conspicuous falloff on the 11th or the 12th of November. On the other hand, total volume for the month looks to be down sharply. @rms:
