Indeed. The problem is not just port 25, as a nice guy wrote here about 
a month ago.

It varies, but in my *personal* experience (so don't take my word on it, 
check yoru own data) the combination of spyware, worms (and other 
malware) and spam consists of between 50 and 80 per cent of an ISP's 
traffic.

This is an epidemic. Not "viruses". Someone needs to go out and say it.
