Sometimes it's caused by a DDOS or virus attack. Other times it's new software features that we're experimenting with. The most recent events were a combination of both, too many advanced features on the forums (causing normal peak loads to be high) and too many users being infected by viruses (server being dictionary attacked by e-mail from 5-6 infected machines). We removed some of the newer experimental features and blocked the IP addresses of the systems that were flooding the mail server.
