Gang,

   Our site is really getting hammered by Sobig-F.  So many copies
were coming in that MS/Sophos/Clamav were running the system load
up on my mail server (a 4 cpu Sun V1280).  A couple of machines at
MIT (nearby networkwise) were hitting us so hard that I had to block
their connections with ipfilter.  1634+ sobigs so far this morning...
Glad I have MailScanner!
