What's happened to all my SPAM?

Its been a bit quiet the last couple of days. Usually when I check my
email in the morning I have around 40-60 spam messages and during the
day I get plenty more.

I had 5 this morning and the same yesterday.

I'm hoping either a) Slingshot have got some spam-killing processes in
place, or b) the Spammers are taking a break

I hope its not c) something wrong with Slingshots mail server as I
also notice some regular emails (e.g. from Trademe and the such)
aren't getting through either (which could be at Trademes end).

 

Maybe they have all caught the lastest worm/virus and they are taking
time to clear their systems.

I did get a spam from the "canary islands" saying how much money there
was for me there. When I told the wanker I had forwarded his email to
the FBI internet fraud center http://www.ifccfbi.gov/index.asp he became
highly abusive....how dare I wreck his legtimate scam....
More to the point, he was also informed that because he had read the
email the return address was now verified and that the FBI would be able
to use this to identify his ISP and then trace via phone records his
place of residence, so he should expect to either have a visit soon or
take care to watch for cars with tinted windows....rotflmao

 

There was some big holiday in Asia the past few days.
