It may be as simple as the mail server doing "ident" checks.
No, we don't that. Most likely it's because lists.suse.com has more than one connection open to his machine at the time.
Here is a snip of the log file: 1030792077 - 08/31/2002 19:07:57 Host: lists.suse.com/217.9.113.69 Protocol: TCP ScanType: UNKNOWN DstPort: 1080 SrcPort 113 1033151664 - 09/28/2002 02:34:24 Host: lists.suse.com/217.9.113.69 Protocol: TCP ScanType: UNKNOWN DstPort: 6667 SrcPort 113 Can you explain it please? I am in Taiwan, that is UTC + 8:00 bye Ronald
Most of the Windows "Firewall" product like Zone Alarm and Norton's product are garbage.
I get probably 3 emails a week like this. Usually it's because "ftp.suse.com is trying to break into my machine!" (they are doing active ftp) often complete with threats of lawsuits, etc. Sigh.
