I don't have records of any envelopes but I came to the same conclusion
you did after messing around a bit. I used rlytest from the ports
collection and test both lucy.fukuda.is.uec.ac.jp and
olderman.analytic.ru. I couldn't connect to the ac.jp host but the russian
host relays mail. I think someone was trying to realy mail through me
using mike1123@2hb.ne as a forged From: address.

I don't think anything bad happened to my system and I am going to take
the advice of Bryan Bradsby and install RBL, DUL, RSS.

thanks for everyones help,

michael
