Subject: MASS spam emails from .tw and . BL domains

hmmm... sounds like spammers rerouting in response to comcast blocking
port 25 on a large number of subscribers.  that (i.e., comcast's
actions) _did_ have a significant effect on the amount of spam being
sent out.

and as expected, it's effects were short term... if only more service
providers would put a little more effort into securing / monitoring
their own customer networks.
