Ridiculous amounts of spam

Daily Spam Statistics for my Email
I recently repaired the DSPAM statistics on my mail server so I can look at the ridiculous amounts of spam that I receive. I knew the number was rather high, because I kept having to train a bunch of misses. Especially when the spam format dramatically changes. It seems to take more corrective action than it used to. I wonder if perhaps I need to clean out the tokens in the database. It’s possible that I’ve got a large amount of stale tokens that are leaning higher for other emails than it should be.
These statistics are from my older email server. I’ve got a new one that has been built, but not put into practice yet. Still trying to figure out how to get the Dovecot Sieve to actually work. Then I can finally ditch procmail and use a smarter server-side mail filtration language. One that doesn’t require a shell account. It’s also possible that I could offer email accounts @shlrm.org. Not that anyone would actually want those. Heh.
Best spam mail ever

It’s spam for spam! I didn’t understand Russian and so sent it to Enqlave on #sourcemage on irc.freenode.net. I suspected, however, that it was spam for spam. Stuff traveling from one computer through the “cloud” and to another computer. Had to be email spam. Well, mostly because the only other kinds of spam (pen15, pr0n, stock scams) it wasnt ;)
