137/TCP is the NETBIOS Name Service. So the remote mailserver might be a (misconfigured?) Windows-Box.
It's nothing dangerous, AFAIK.
But is this a thing one can configure or not? I would rather advise that admin to stop doing so than doing nothing.
I've not seen an option for this yet, but I think a mailserver does not *need* NETBIOS. At least it might be a possible security hole, as MS does not seem to be very careful with this. Telling the admin what his box does would be a good idea (IMHO). Martin -- Disclaimer This email is subject to copyright and is intended only for the person(s) named.
