YES: "dramatic increase"
Around mid March the spam traffic took another 20% increase
and has increased some 5% each week since. Our spam trap
has gone from about 195 spams a day to this morning's
299 in just 8 hours.
We've also seen a lot of new faces and it would
seem there are a lot of new companies setting up shop.
The Worm > Zombie outbreak hasn't helped either.
The experts say that some 50% of all bandwidth is now
monopolized by spam and the repercussions it causes.
Yes, Michael Apple's MAIL is doing a great job of keeping
those problems from reaching us though.

I'm with you Michael! We can all be safe.
No spam, not hungry, never been raped or robbed, don't have
aids, don't have cancer, five cell phone accounts, kids well
educated, 300 channels, fully insured, trust fund retirement,
off-shore portfolio, all the gas I want, warm in winter, cool
in summer, home in Florida, home in the mountains, airline
tickets, everything debt free, never been to war,
pay taxes with a smile.
I get a little laugh out of all the complaints about the
poison in the water, though I NEVER see it.
Learn how to filter water so you don't have to drink it.
Buy some more bottled water, stop in Starbucks.
What problems? I NEVER see them.
Easy as pie!
