At a guess, I'd say all the endless "service poor due to maintenance" messages on the status page can be ignored as, well, lies. They don't have the capacity to deal with the spam they're attracting, and they don't have a strategy for dealing with the fact.
Or if they do, I'd like to know what it is.

Is sending and receiving not handled by different servers? It's a bit of a mare that they can't handle the spam, not their fault that it's incoming of course, but they really should have a strategy by now.
