is there a recent increase email getting through

I know I've been getting hammered today starting around 9:00 AM Pacific Time.  As usual, I can't get through to support.

I got a response from Sophos support on twitter. It was rather generic as they recommended the is-spam reporting feature and the standard configuration of recommended config settings. It seems to have stopped now though

I can confirm we have the same issue

Ours also seems to have stopped.  Hard to say if that's because the Appliance got better at anything or that particular campaign just stopped. 

Seems like it's picking up again today.  Anybody hear anything definitive from support?

I agree. It started picking up around noon EDT. Support said to check out the Spam dashboard

Nice picture, useless info.

I did get through to support this morning and they said they've gotten reports and that SophosLabs is looking into it.  Guess we just hang on in the meantime.
