Has anyone been receiving like 20 to 40 german spam emails lately? I just got bombed by this one spammer, oddly, he seems to be on my isp's network, but then again it may be spoofed. I really have to work on my filters since these spam emails are insane.

I generally just get emails about drugs, *HOT* penny stocks and the like. I haven't seen anything in German pop up recently.

Wow just got a bunch more again. Insane. I keep forgetting I have to restart spamd when I add in a new rule. Not sure how my host manages to filter those though, since the emails are mostly all empty or german, and I can't imagine filters covering all languages.

I've been getting quite a bit more spam than usual. Probably about 5 a day now, cmpared to ... 0 a day because I've had them all blocked for a good two or three months.
