Or you may just "build yourself some luck" :) see, it's not
difficult and since you're running ASSP there are several
settings you may tweak to get back in control; let me try
talking about some of them

* Setup ClamAV scanning, ensure that both, incoming and
   outgoing messages are being scanned, next, add to your
   clamav the sigs from http://www.sanesecurity.co.uk/ - to
   do so, just pick one of the ready-to-use scripts, configure
   it to fetch the signatures you want (more later) and schedule
   the script to fetch and update those extra sigs once a day
   or... the like

* Get a grip on "regexp", that's a *need* not an option if you
   really want to use ASSP and it will help you a LOT... and
   I'm not kidding, the whole "regex filter / spambomb" section
   has a whole LOT of horsepower once you become familiar
   with regexp; you don't need to become a "guru" but you'll
   need some "basics"

* Set the "localfrequency" parameters in "relaying" to some
   reasonable value (e.g. int=1800 rcpt=120) and create your
   own "nolocalfrequency" file to exclude known, good "mass
   senders"

* Add the appropriate mail alerts to "logging" -> "notifyre" so
   that in case the "localfrequency" gets some hits on in case
   of other issues you'll get an email alert from your ASSP

let things "distillate" and finetune them a little bit at a time and
you'll probably/possibly avoid similar issues in a future
