Has anyone noticed a drop in spambot spam lately? My list of spam bots
which peaked at 4 million IPs is down to 2.8 million IPs.

Interesting...

Not much variance recently:

from June)

Symantec reports less spam volume ... but also less ham volume:

Internet Storm Center reported a big INCREASE in spam on 2009-10-07:

It would be nice to have an index of these things ... this is what I
could find hastily.
