We run a Barracuda Networks Anti Spam/Virus Firewall for our e-mail service and that really helps. E-mail stays queued for all MTA's that are offline. Very sweet and effective.
There was a longish discussion about that barracude thing on news.admin.net-abuse.blocklisting in the past weeks. It seems that networks that employ this apparatus are being included in spamcop.net blocklists too, because the barracude is by default configured to bounce spam and virussen instead of rejecting them, and to make matters worse, to also include a commercial message about the product with every bounce.
