In this case, it's a good idea to shoot the messenger.

While this rocks in principle, I wonder how big of an effect it will really have. Sadly, I seem to be getting more spam in my Gmail account this week.

I emptied my spam folder in gmail when I initially read about this early this week, I should be up to about 750-1000 spam by now...only at 270 as of this writing. That's 2/3 to 3/4 decrease for me w00t  -M@

Why can't I attach files to this post? I've got a nice graphical depiction of the spam drop on our domain

Enjoy the drop while you can... http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/11/18/short_mcco... McColo, a network provider that was yanked offline following reports it enabled more than half the world's spam, briefly returned from the dead over the weekend so it could hand-off command and control channels to a new source, security researchers said. The brief resurrection allowed miscreants who rely on McColo to update a portion of the massive botnets they use to push spam and malware. Researchers from FireEye saw PCs infected by the Rustock botnet being updated so they'd report to a new server located at abilena.podolsk-mo.ru for instructions. That means the sharp drop in spam levels reported immediately after McColo's demise isn't likely to last. -M@

Why can't I attach files to this post? I've got a nice graphical depiction of the spam drop on our domain I just used the "Become this user" from the admin console and I see your error message. I'll look around in your profile more to see what I can find.

You can't upload any files in the news areas. Other areas like the Bit Bucket you can.
