FWIW, this is what I see in traffic to an address I've had to abandon
because of spam:

It's about 3pm local time here, so by midnight the stat for today will
probably be nearly double yesterday's total.
The spam traffic had been around 2K/day at the beginning of the year,
but tapered off to around 500 as you see above. This spike is ten times
the highest I've seen before. If I were actually downloading this crap,
and not rejecting it at the SMTP handshake, my DSL line would be
saturated :-(
