Seems a German university has given up the battle on spam seem they where seeing delays of up to one week in the delay of e-mail. The 20 computers they where using was breaking down under a load of 100,000 unprocessed messages.
I am sure the wording is not quite right as I process nearly 10,000 message a day of which 95% of them are spam on a single PC using several filtering and verification messages. So is this a new tactic by spammers to overwhelm the resources of e-mail servers to process the spam. [Slashdot]
