The Day Email Died? Reaction to SoBig worm spam

Kevin Werback: Between 10:45pm last night and 6am this morning, I received 1,470 pieces of spam (a run rate of nearly 5,000 per day). Most of them were from the SoBig worm, which seems to be the worst yet.

I wonder if this is the last straw that will convince people to move to challenge/response or whitelist mechanisms, as I argued last year?
