The amount of spam (not SPAM, that's a registered trademark of Hormel Foods
Inc.) sent globally has increased exponentially over the past 3 months, so I
wouldn't be at all surprised if that which evades filters has also
increased, while still being the same proportion of the total spam flung
in your direction.

I keep logs of the reports I file with SpamCop. These reports include both
manual reports of spam which got past my filters, and automatic reports
generated by spam hitting spam traps of mine. This is what I have for the
past year:

05/03:	129
06/03:	91
07/03:	100
08/03:	215
09/03:	208
10/03:	219
11/03:	320
12/03:	304
01/04:	223
02/04:	333
03/04:	532
04/04:	720 (even with an 11-day loss of connectivity)
05/04:	973 (so far - still 6 days to go before the end of the month)
