Hi There,
Just saw this news article on a SANS NewsBites email...
http://www.forbes.com/technology/newswire/2004/03/19/rtr1305508.html
They saying they are seeing a 27% decline in spam entering there network
since the 20th of February.
They attributing it to the spam law that came into effect on the 1st of
January and that over time there tweaking of spam filters has improved
somewhat.
Now what I want to know is are those just numbers? And are the spammers
just sending less now and could send more in April and then less again
in
June, just some sort of up and downcycle like the stock market?
Or is it possible that the fact that the takeup of spf has something to
do with it?
Especially since AOL posted there records in early Jan?
Or maybe even a portion of it?
Cant check when the uptake really took off...
http://spftools.infinitepenguins.net/earlyadopters.php appears to be
broken :-(
Anyone got similar stats?
Wishful thinking?
Comments?
Cheers
Bradley
