I count 39 from last Wedneday (the difference is probably due to email 
client time localizations) and 98 mails in the last six days (Thursday, 
October 31 - Tuesday, November 5), which compares to:

40 emails from Thursday, October 3 - Tuesday, October 8
98 emails from Thursday, October 10 - Tuesday, October 15
312 emails from Thursday, October 17 - Tuesday, October 22
117 emails from Thursday, October 24 - Tuesday, October 29

Of these result sets, I believe only the latter two are influenced by 
your changes, and they do show a downward trend, but the overall results 
are too variable to be indicative.  This may be because of DOS attacks 
(intentional or otherwise), but it could also be natural volatility in 
Bugzilla usage.
