We started seeing something similar about 2:00 a.m.  I started getting
warnings Trend that it was picking up viruses in my /spam folder.
Don't know how many going through because can't scan the /spool with
Trend.

Trying to figure out if they're non-viable.  Even if they are
Declude/F-prot should be stopping them though because we had a similar
problem a few weeks ago and added

VIRUSCODE 8

in order to stop suspicious files.
