Hi All,
Over the past two weeks, I have suddenly started receiving a huge amount of spam.Prior to this time, there was almost nothing of spam received at all.Nothing has changed in my Ironport settings. Anyone suddenly experiencing something similar?

We've seen the same thing. I opened a ticket with TAC and they had me update to the latest version. We just did that within the past few days, so no feedback as yet on whether it helped.

Assure that all of your processes and rulesets are updated:
> antispamupdate ironport force
> outbreakupdate force
> repengupdate force
After ~5 minutes - you should be able to check status and see current/up-to-date time stamps on the engine and rules:
> antispamstatus ironport
> repengstatus
> outbreakstatus
Depending on what you have licensed, and active - your results may vary.
If you have a strong, repetative sender or subject - you can check the Threat Outbreaks, and see if there is a current hot topic that is trending you may be facing:

Hade the same with one C170, seems there was a bad engine update somwhere aound 18th/19th of februari which stopped the reputation engine from running. Was fixed after a "repengupdate force" .
It was easy to spot since there were no hits on stopped by reputation on the summary page..
