Who ate all the spam?

I’ve not had any spam for weeks. Now normally that would be a good thing - nobody likes spam - but it does make you wonder what else isn’t turning up.
So, today I switched hosting companies. Not entirely hitch-free, since they emailed the login details to the new account, which meant that to access them I needed to use them to log in to the account inside which they were locked. Confused? Hmmm.
So, it’s been running on the new host now for most of the day, and my spam count had rocketed up to … a big fat zero.
Which leaves me wondering where all my spam has gone. I used to get over 3,000 a day, so I’d expect to have at least 1,500 racked up and ready to download now if that old account had been stripping them out, and the new account isn’t (I checked).
Either the spammers have given up on me (I hope they’ll forgive me for not being too hurt by that fact), or the spam problem has been solved in my absence.
I wonder.
