I've been seeing a few really large bursts into our mailserver.  Not sure 
if it's a new variant or a reoccurrence of an old strain.  I put in a good 
number of new port 25 inbound blocks for infected systems and attempted to 
put up a few checks inside of our front end mail servers rather than in the 
virus and spam filtering (which happens later for us, so for bad surges we 
put a few custom rules up front early in postfix).

Isn't anything we can't handle at this point but it was pretty ugly for a 
while there.
