Zerofail from nowhere to #2 in April and May 2013 SpamRankngs.net for Canada

Zerofail’s AS 40191 AS-PRE2POST-1 jumped from 5 per day April 1st to more than a million spam messages many days in April, and from 413 total in March to almost 22 million in April. That made it #2 in the April 2013 SpamRankings.net for Turkey Canada from CBL data, and Zerofail kept second place in May with more than 18 million spam messages. This AS actually sent proportionally more of top 10 spam from Canada in May than in April because #1 iWeb’s AS 32613 sent a lot less in May. Where does all this Zerofail spam come from?

AS 40191 has six netblocks currently assigned, of which the netblock 173.246.64.0/19 is producing almost all of the spam seen from AS 40191.
