Sure, spammers seem to have massively increased their email volume
in the last 2 months, we're experiencing also between
100-200% more attempts per day if compared to the beginning
of May 2007.

This might not indicate a general trend though, could
be related to penny stock campaigns targeting moribund companies
listed on the Frankfurt exchange and German speaking "investors".
