IP tables doesn't seem quite the write mechanisme to do this ... how about the obvious - tcpdump ? tcpdump -i <inside interface> -n -v -s 1500 "(src or dst net <your subnet>/<subnetlen>) && tcp port 25" The one that's not a mail server and is spewing smtp connections will be the one infected by Sobig. If you want to see the ASCII content add a -X, if you want to record it use -w <logfile> to write it, and -r <logfile> when analysing the dump.
