Massive increase in spam volume?

[Thamer Al-Harbash <tmh () whitefang com>]

I work at a large ISP in Canada and just a few hours ago we've
experienced a massive increase in spam volume. The volume is so
high it's bordering on being a denial of service attack.

Does anyone know if there's a worm out in the wild currently
doing this? I've confirmed with some of my collegues that other
ISPs are also experiencing this.

I'm interested in finding specific netblocks but the spam seems
to be coming from everywhere.
