vanishing spam -- a puzzle



About a week ago, the volume of spam (flagged by SpamAssassin at the
outfit which hosts my web site and supplies me with a pop3 account)
suddenly plumeted by an order of magnitude.  I had been receiving
about a thousand spam mails each day; now I am receiving only about a
hundred.

The spam simply has disappeared.  I use maildrop to sort incoming
messages, and all the categories except "spam" have a normal mail
volume.

Neither the hosting outfit nor my local ISP has an explanation.

Is perhaps a third party intercepting my mail and discarding spam?  Is
there a way for me to investigate this possibility?
