Seeing very few anonymous attempts right now. Several dictionary attacks 
from Belgium... and one site trying to connect as "USER Administrator" 
7000 times in the past week... (From somewhere in Indonesia)

That's just one server though - quick check of a few others - no - nothing 
significant for anonymous logins...

Quite a few dictionary attacks in the POP logs though.
