Less Spam?

Over the last week I have notice a significant drop in the amount of spam I receive. 

It is usual to receive 20-60 items per day. Over the last week it has dropped, some days to zero. Today I received 1.

If the amount of spam in your inbox has gone down these past few days, it’s not because your spam filter suddenly decided to work overtime. Rather, as the Washington Post reports, one of the biggest web hosts for botnet operators and other shady (or downright illegal) services has gone offline.

While the above report is over a month old, it may be that this action or others under way are taking effect.
