It's looks like on Jan. 6th starting at about 10:00AM there is a massive spam flood going on to all of my email addresses. I've verified that other's are seeing it to. One weird thing is that it's not happening to my gmail account at all.

I typically get 100 emails a day, most being spam, but this morning I got 1500 emails in a 15 minute time span. It's also taking a really log time just to log into the ATT mailserver and the textdrive mail server. Since I have client side spam filtering using Spamato, my computer is almost pegged on CPU usage as well.

What is everyone else seeing?

UPDATE: Wow. Now I'm thinking that Thunderbird lost it's mind and redownloaded all of my email. Still looking at it though.
