We have been seeing huge amounts of spam messages coming through email servers over the last couple of months. This news article describes the 1700% increase in spam during the month of July, the worst ever. Unfortunately, August is actually looking worse.
What does this mean. First, you will probably see patches of time where you will see an increase in spam messages hitting your inbox. Next, email performance will be slow as the spam and virus filters must process this huge increase in traffic. In addition, you will probably have issues sending or receiving messages to or from certain Domains as the IT people there try to mitigate the flood of spam messages.
We use 3 different email hosts and all 3 are seeing these issues. Hopefully, the sources of this increased junk will be located and shutdown as soon as possible. In the meantime, just be aware of the issue and be patient.
