Spam is up, zombies are down

MessageLabs is telling us that spam as a whole is up, but zombies are on their way out... or at least down.

According to the brief blurb at that link, spam use is up due to innovation on the part of the spammers. No word on what that innovation is, but apparently it doesn't involve zombies.

If I had to guess, I would imagine that it does involve zombies, but they are sending out through the ISP mailservers instead of directly from their host machine - just like we discussed recently.
