I received the following on the 17th:

Spamihilator server overload
----------------------------

The Spamihilator server and, thus, the website is not available since
some days due to very high load. We are already working on this
problem.

You can help up by disabling the automatic check for updates. This
should reduce traffic on the server.

Please do the following:
- Click the Spamihilator tray icon beneath the clock.
- Choose "Settings" from the menu.
- The settings window appears. Click "General Settings" from the list
view on the left side (the first item in the list).
- Disable the option "Automatically check for updates".
- Press the "OK" button to apply the changes.

This should reduce the high pressure onto the Spamihilator server and
may help us to make it available again.

Thank you in advance for your help
Michel Krämer

So the site is down for a while.
