We saw a dramatic decrease. Attached is our dnsbl mirror in .ie, it
mirrors spamhaus amoungst other things.
The numbers are in 1000s of 1000s per 5 minute window. (so 2500k =
2.5m)
You can see a dramatic decrease that corresponds with them going
offline and then the spam level gradually coming back, but it's
certainly not back full tilt yet.

Subject: RE: McColo and SPAM
We experienced exactly no decrease with the McColo shut down a few
weeks
back, even though we receive 2M+ messages per day. It's interesting
that
each service provider's spam populations are as different as they
are. Some
experienced gigantic decreases, others didn't. And it's not like we
have
just one domain.
I know MessageLabs examines spam rates per industry type.

Certainly, I have seen a perceptual, yet completely subjective
increase.
I know major operators who have claimed to see a gigantic decrease.

Hello,
Since McColo closed, we noticed the spam was far more intensive than
before.
However, it seems the amount of spam is similar than than before.
Do you feel the same ?
Many thanks,
RO
It would seem that the sources of SPAM have merely moved since McColo
was shut down and it's going to
take some time for everyone's blackhole routes and RBL's to catch up.
I have personally noticed a higher
delivered spam content in my own email accounts.
