I've seen exactly the same thing.  However, it's not just the "sobig" worm - 
there are a couple of others too.  There are M$ mailservers falling over like 
ninepins at the moment.  Apparently, there's also a couple of nasties doing 
the rounds that target M$ Exchange - several M$ "admin" types of my 
acquintance are whinging about the collapse of their systems!
