We've seen more than a two fold increase in spam which has been backing up legitimate mail. Our spam filtering increases the delivery times significantly but as so much mail is queued right now, it seems the best thig would be to turn it off for a bit while we work on combatting the delivery of spam at the soure(s).

If you find a huge amount of spam as compared to normal, that will be due to our having temporarily turning off spam filtering.

We're still filtering for viruses and general known spam servers but our system is not inspecting the contents of the messages for spam.

When the queue gets to a more managable size, we'll turn things back on.
