This past week it seems that the SFDB is far less effective then it used to be! In the past That feature caught the majority of Spam (2/3) now it only accounts for 1/4, how come? I know you changed your server location but have you changed the rules? If so, how can I get them back?
 
Also, the listed IP's in the config is close to whats on your site here....

Lee,

Only the hosting facility has changed, not the rules. As you can see, we still have on average between 300 and 500 thousand IPs blacklisted at anytime.
Can you please try to ping, from the server running SpamFilter, the address:

sfdb.logsat.com

and ensure it returns 66.181.198.something
and not the old addresses 209.26.140.something

Lee,
 
FYI ... I just looked at my SpamFilter stats for the last 30 days and see nearly the exact same percentage of blocks by the SFDB with the exception of Nov-9 (way higher due to several spam attacks).  Did you change any of your SFDB options?

It's returning the right IP.
 
The only change I've made in many months is to put in sfdb.logsat.com instead of an IP in the ini file!
 
If I understand you, your are seeing 25% caught by SFDB too?

Mine is only 4%. Majority of them (>90%) are caught by Honeypot.

My admin interface does a zillion SQL queries and formats the results.  This is a cut from that page.
