Oddly, very few of those have made it through my filters, even without the beta test SA anti-PDF spam stuff. I think I agree with you that it's probably the type of spam that's changed though, rather than the volume. One of the ones that does seem to make it through my filters at the moment has random subject lines and a body of: <company> <ticker> <price> followed by a dozen or so random sentences. They're not even trying to push the shares now, presumably because it makes the filtering easier. > PS: If you /dev/null email, you are filtering it wrong.
