Easier said than done, especially if you're a small ISP that's been doing
POP before SMTP and changing this requires that every customer's settings
be changed.

drac http://mail.cc.umanitoba.ca/drac/
supports seperate pop/smtp servers. Which is not neccessarily what is being recommended by having seperate in-mx-smtp and out-smtp.

Is there any info on how this zombie is spread? ie, email worms, direct
port attacks, etc. If the former, there's hope of nipping it in the bud
with anti-virus filtering.
