Don't know if it's related, but I'm seeing a SIGNIFICANT increase in
SMTP REJECTs, something to the tune of a 10- to 15-fold increase. I
started seeing it simultaneously on both my primary and secondary boxes,
starting around 7:AM EST yesterday (Thursday). I log RBL rejects as
'spam' so this is something different.

I'm going through the logs now, but it appears I started getting a
large number of connections similar to the following:

Feb  3 07:23:17 gwmail1 postfix/smtpd[27839]: connect from
unknown[w.x.y.z]
Feb  3 07:23:17 gwmail1 postfix/smtpd[27839]: lost connection after
CONNECT from unknown[w.x.y.z]

Most of them appear to resolve to residential connections...related? -

I encountered one ISP who's legitimate mail gateway is freaking out
under 
the load of all the proxy spam.
