Spammers are on a Christmas vacation? -- Comment()
Spam didn't explode, after all. I expected the number of spam messages to explode during the end of December, but no such thing happened. I currently have 248 spam messages in my junk mail folder, of which 246 were caught by the spam filters (server-side and Mac OS X Mail). Perhaps the spammers are also taking a vacation?
