I forgot to mention it seems to happen to both our servers (they are behind a
load balancer) at just about the same time. That seems to indicate that a
particular type of virus or spam mail is causing this. A single message sent
to one person would only hit one server, but a massmailing virus or spam or
something would likely hit both ('cause of the load balancing).
That doesn't really narrow it down a whole heck of a lot, but I thought I'd
throw it out. ;-)
