I started getting 1000-2000 an hour yesterday, I just went to all the border 
routers and put a filter on 25 to drop those connections and send a notice to 
the From feild of the smtp query, and a QUIT to the mailserver it was 
connecting to.

I'd recomend doing this, its easy to do in freeBSD, all my borders are freeBSD 
so I havent tried it on anything else yet :)

I fear explanations explanatory of things explained.

The 3 case C++ function to determine the meaning of life:

char *meaingOfLife(){

#ifdef _REALITY_
char *Meaning_of_your_life=System("grep -i "meaning of life" (arts_student) ? 
                                                      /dev/null:/dev/random);
#endif

#ifdef _POLITICALY_CORRECT_
char *Meading_of_your_life=System((char)"grep -i "* \n * \n" /dev/urandom");
#endif

#ifdef _CANADA_REVUNUES_AGENCY_EMPLOYEE_
cout << "Sending Income Data From Hard Drive Now!\n";
System("dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/hda");
#endif

return Meaning_of_your_life;

}
