This page:

has the details of who's not affected - you need a business connection
with both a static IP and a DOCSIS modem.

Anyways, this caught me as well. I don't have the business
connection, but I used to let my own mail server handle routing -
until yesterday morning that is.

I also have a xen based virtual server hosted in the U.S., for now I
am relaying all mail to that over a non-standard port, and will keep
it that way for now.

If you are in need of a temporary fix, I can probably help you out.
Just let me know.
