We've got a customer who is receiving 1 message per second! that

As far as I can see, it's coming from hijacked accounts all over the
place (hundreds or thousands of servers) with varying sender addresses.
Is anyone else seeing this sort of thing?
Any idea how I might combat this?
I'd love to bulk submit these messages and report them back to the
admins of the compromised servers, if that might do some good.
We just had this happen again. Same MO: ramdom subject and message
body, no links or email addresses in the message, multiple incoming
relays, various recipients, Message-Id starting with "CHILKAT-MID".
Three compromised accounts have been used to send this "spam" starting
Sunday morning. I'm using the Message-Id to trap new accounts.
Coincidentally, we has a phish get through to a number of our users last
weekend.
