The MyDoom worm might be part of the problem, but it's only really been a 
problem for the past 2 days. We bounce about 3 infected messages per minute 
on our system at work (we are an ISP), and the load is about 30% higher 
today than it was yesterday, and yesterday was about double what a normal 
Tuesday is. This is *bad*, so everybody make sure your virus scanner is up 
to date and that you are current on patches. There is more detailed info on 
the latest batch of worms and viruses at http://www.cert.org
