Has there been a change in spam/bulk central rules used by the SEA?

Our SEA is up to date with software engine and threat definitions, as of when I checked a few minutes ago. Yet we seem to be experiencing a lot more incidents of spam and bulk messages getting through to user mailboxes over the last three weeks. From memory, I thought that about 80% of inbound messages were either Blocked, Invalid, Spam or Virus. Now 71% of mail is Other, and I am getting a lot more internal buzz about spam and bulk mail getting through. They are all being forwarded to is-spam@labs.sophos.com, but it shouldn't be the case.

Are we all just experiencing an increase in being behind the new waves of spammers, or is this something else?

  • We have seen the same thing over the last two weeks.

    Our anti-spam settings have not changed, but we now only see a few messages a day in quarantine (used to be 50-100) and end users are seeing far more spam. PM is updating it's spam rules happily every few minutes and no errors are logged.
