Same here. I've seen them occasionally for months,
but they've been getting really heavy during the past
couple of days. Most of the originating IPs seem to be
open relays or non-US dialup types... so I just check
and block them, as appropriate. I've also discovered
that "truncated MIME" events can be caused by an
Outlook spyware add-on, called Hotbar.
