Has anyone seen the same trend I have over the past 3-4 days?  I am seeing less keywords than usual and my No RDNS and MAPS are way up.  I use the following MAPS Servers:

dnsbl.sorbs.net
cbl.abuseat.org
dnsbl.njabl.org
sbl.spamhaus.org

Regards,

Dan S.

maybe spammers noticed microsoft fixed the http://" CLASS="ASPForums" TITLE="WARNING: URL created by poster. - http:// ... @ and the http://....:" CLASS="ASPForums" TITLE="WARNING: URL created by poster. - http://....: bug...

which makes their body unreadable, as plain txt....

i use now the xbl-sbl.spamhaus.org, it`s the rbl and exploit DB in one lookup,

works great, high hit rates.

I have seen the same thing. Less keywords but I see more of: "557 You exceeded the maximum number of RCPT TO" then anything else. I wish I could not quarantine them with out turning quarantineing off completely. Mydoom and Max RCPT TO are this most common blocked emails during the last week on my network with RDNS and MAPS following and keywords. Since I block a lot of countries they are the most blocked source.

like we use to hide our http://mailto:" CLASS="ASPForums" TITLE="WARNING: URL created by poster. - http://mailto: tags, in sites, spammers now use that same feature.
