I'm Special (update)

Thu, 13 Sep 2007

Just an update. Looks like my list is getting more efficient over time. Here is a sender-blocked update for the past 8 days:

20070905: ################ (16)
20070906: ##################################### (37)
20070907: ###################### (22)
20070908: ############## (14)
20070909: ########################### (27)
20070910: ##################################### (37)
20070911: ############################################################################# (77)
20070912: ##################################################################################################### (101)

versus the number of spams getting through:

20070905: ################ (16)
20070906: ################ (16)
20070907: ############# (13)
20070908: ######### (9)
20070909: ##### (5)
20070910: ##### (5)
20070911: ################ (16)
20070912: ############# (13)

And the blocked-to-spam ratios:

20070905: # (1)
20070906: ## (2.31)
20070907: ## (1.69)
20070908: ## (1.55)
20070909: ##### (5.40)
20070910: ####### (7.40)
20070911: ##### (4.81)
20070912: ######## (7.76)

I've been trying to be more proactive by synchronizing my spammers list with my spam mailbox every hour during business hours. Spammers, take note! I'll spell it out for you morons because you're too dense to grasp it otherwise: the best time to spam me is between midnight and 6 am. You'll have to find a new class C to send from, of course.

Good luck, jerks.
