Just a crack down on one person by Russian authorities had led to estimated drop one-fifth email spam since last month. But with 200 billion spam messages in circulation each day, there is still plenty to go around.

Russia, being a major spam exporter, say they are trying to do their part to stem the flow. On Tuesday, police officials here announced a criminal investigation of a suspected spam kingpin, Igor A. Gusev. They said he had probably fled the country.

SpamIt.com suddenly stopped operating on Sept. 27. With less financial incentive to send their junk mail, spammers curtailed their activity by an estimated 50 billion messages a day.
