Well after my short life (3 weeks) as an avid Blue Frog user, Blue Security has announced that it's kicking the bucket. I recorded careful statistics each day - perhaps I'll post them when I get a chance.
I did see it in action, and it worked! My spam was dropping slowly right up to the day the attacks started at which point it jumped from 200 per day to 500. It's now holding stead around 400 and dropping as the attack on us Blue Frog users run out of steam.
But it's wasted effort on behalf of the spammers. We Blue Frog users are the worst kind of anti's and we just cause hell for their affiliates. Spam Assassin is again set to filter (as opposed to only mark headers) and it's pooling server side for admin's to delete when they feel like it. When the odd spam makes it through the hurdles and lands in my inbox (assuming Thunderbird doesn't eat it) I usually take a few minutes to harass the advertised site or forward the phish scam to the bank or service that was spoofed.
So go read all about Blue Security for an exciting story of Cyber Warfare. Having just lived through it all watching each blow in real time, it's too much of a headache to post links. But that's what Google is for. I doubt that links on my humble blog will affect indexing. :)
