I've also noticed a new form of spam, coming from hotmail. It seems to  
try to break the MTA with a bad header:

It's the first time )=I've seen this in my logs. It ends up chewing up  
the processor for a few seconds, but it does it every four minutes  
(possibly hotmail's retry period?). If many mails came in this way, I  
suspect I'd experience a DDoS.

I've also noticed other attacks two days ago, but I've not been able  
to narrow them down.

There's no doubt in my mind, however, that 
http://www.spamcop.net/spamgraph.shtml?spamyear 
  accurately portrays what I've experienced on my server. N.b.,  
sometimes, of late, the link does not have a chart in it. Not sure why.

BTW, Thomas, I will get back to you soon about the new version. I've  
been too busy on other project for the past week. Sorry.
