Just as a side note since I see they have found the DNS problem.  The
current spam problem is universal.  I'm an email admin where I work, and
we received notice from postini who does our spam Filtering that in the
last few months there has been an increase In spam activity in the order
of 500-600%.  So, even if your filters were, And still are catching 90% of
what comes in, you'll still see a Major increase in what you actually see.
