May I suggest you immediately change the IP address of your mail servers
- primary and secondary ? It is a quick DNS change and a quick
configuration change to your (*nix?) operating system settings. You can
decide whether to retain or change the original MX host names.
Personally I would change the MX host names to reflect the (slightly)
different IP addresses.
Legitimate emails will use the new MX addresses and the spammers will
continue to use the previous stored MX address which becomes absolutely
worthless to the mindless brain-dead morons.
