Nothing particularly new.  The Bots have been pumping this one out
for at least a month, although the subject line has a few variations
besides just changing the name.  I guess they just finally got around
to you.

and any suggestion on how to defend
against it besides what I'm already doing (which is all of the
obvious, rbls, spam appliances, hot cocoa, etc.)?

See all the previous mail threads about ISPs not doing anything :-)

Stop the bots on your networks; work with people to stop the bots
on other networks; work with law enforcement to put the criminals
in prison.

In the mean time, continue to spend on resources to mail servers,
security appliances, and more blacklists.
