Marc, I'd be interested in seeing the updated stats for this bought of virus
transmission we're going through.
Yesterday you had almost 1 for 1 valid email. By then I think I was getting
about 3-4 per valid email but since then it's sky rocketed and it looks more
like 30+ per 1 valid message.
I'd just be interested if that's the same others are seeing since I believe the
virus picks up my email address from the messages sent to the lists.

Particularly the 'Passed' number. Now I'm not subscribed to all of the lists
but I am on -general, -hackers and a couple of others like -interfaces and yet
I would say that the volume of email I'm seeing from the lists is far lower
than normal _not_ more by a factor of 3-ish.
BTW, I wasn't suggesting the virus emails I get come through the lists, was
just refering to the harvesting of my email address by the virus.
[Tom's numbers are absolutely amazing. I seem to be up to around 60 per minute
now]

FWIW, this is what I see in traffic to an address I've had to abandon
because of spam:
488 Aug 8
433 Aug 9
435 Aug 10
426 Aug 11
504 Aug 12
458 Aug 13
469 Aug 14
390 Aug 15
433 Aug 16
371 Aug 17
520 Aug 18
36473 Aug 19
35808 Aug 20
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 :-(

The # Passed is what amavisd passed through to majordomo2 ... majordomo2
then takes everything that amavisd marked as being spam and trashes those
.... and then everything that is from ppl not subscribed to the lists has
to get approved by 'the moderator', which I'm currently going through ...
only 400 more to go, 399 of which are most likely stuff amavisd didn't
catch as spam *sigh*
Oh ... also consider that a *very* large portion of the messages that
Passed are also postmaster messages for messages bounced ... I have a
filter on my mail for that to put it into its own mailbox ... since Aug
18th, there have been 12622 messages delivered to that mailbox ... and
there is also all the subscribe/unsubscribe requests ... all of which
would have been Passed thorugh amavisd ...

G'day all ...
With the growing # of subscribers to the lists, as well as growing list
activity, ppl are reporting a slowdown in the speed that mail is being
processed through from sender to recipient ...
The major slowdown tends to arrive when the mail queue on the serving
machine gets very large, so over the past few months, we've been working
on distributing that load around to various servers provided to the
community.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
