RE: [MLUG] Recent Spam Spike???

["Spurling, Shannon" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I'm used to getting a whole lot more SPAM that what I have been getting
lately. The amount of SPAM has gone down a great deal since we started
grey listing (http://email.about.com/cs/spamgeneral/a/tmpfailing.htm). A
lot of those weird subject SPAM's are generated by hijacked machines or
don't resend. It causes some delay on the first email, but it appears to
be working great.

I see a TON of spam on my blog.  Thank god for spam blockers.  That's 
it thus far though, minus the typical nonsense, virus emails, etc.
