Re: Heads-up: Sober Spam wave started last night Nah, they're still coming though not in as significant a quantity as last night. Postini and the others are doing a yeoman's job of router updates. 
No signs in the code of Sober.lmnop/whatever as to it being anything more than the usual proxy, smtp engine and bot. Same old, same old ... but that DOES explain why the "lull" in the infection stage. Spammer quota met since Sober is nothing more than a spam relay in the first place. Figures the "tests" would begin. But it's still alive but not quite as vigorous as it was earlier.
Examination of earlier source code when the author was a little bit more open was that the whole SOBER thing was the result of his upset over the jailing of an Austrian "hacker" friends of his ... well known case. This guy was one of that "crew" ... he said so in his code in earlier versions.
