[lacnog] RV: sudden low spam levels?

[Arturo Servin]

	Como administrador de sistemas no se porque no tengo los números históricos frescos, pero como usuario solía tener entre 500 y 750 msgs de SPAM en mi cuenta de gmail, ahora solo tengo 160. 

	Algo similar note hace algún tiempo cuando el FBI dió de baja a algunos SPAMers pero posteriormente empezó a subir de nuevo. Ojalá que ahora se mantenga bajo.

Saludos,
