I'm used to seeing a few hundred spam emails in the email gateway daily
reports. They've effectively gone to zero this week.

Anyone know what happened?

Web searches haven't found anything.

Is it just my servers?

I'm pushing my congressional representatives to add money to the NSA
fund for the specific purpose of being able to restore people's email.
They have them all anyway - just a little bit more and we have email
backup!!!

Yeah, but you'd have to file a FOIA request for it

I used to drive myself to a foaming rage running a local Postfix server.
Just watching the constant attempts of spammers, eating up MY BANDWIDTH,
trying to send me spam. Blacklist, greylist, whatever.

Then I dumped the problem on goDaddy. Don't know, don't care.

Remember: the cloak of "Somebody-else's-problem" is much less
expensive, and generally as good as the cloak of invisibility.

Yeah, I am moving to Google Suite, $5 an account. Yeah, Yeah, I know
everyone hates Google, but my last job they were our mail server and I was
one of the admins. It easy to use.

Plus, no more late night fight with postfix.

I've been running my own mail server for the past 20 years.
I pay almost no attention to it or the spam filter.
If I do have a rare problem, I don't have to wait around for <your favorite cloud mail> to acknowledge/fix the problem.

I'm seeing a major reduction, but not zero.

Maybe even the spammers don't like a Linux mailing list that has been
reduced to a pro/anti systemd argument list?

Bwahahahaha!!!!!

Or maybe their poorly supported sysV system got taken down with a meltdown attack.

Bwahahaha!!!!!

Or they accidentally rebooted and systemd is hung mounting a nfs filesystem before networking is up.

Bwahahaha!!!!!
