Last night we got hit with one of those "dictionary attack" mail spams
where the spammer basically tries every username in a dictionary to get
the spam through.  The funny thing is the name of the machine:

Received: from netppl.fi (monitor@get.freebsd.because.microsoftsucks.net
    [209.3.31.115])  

And then this:

bash$ telnet get.freebsd.because.microsoftsucks.net
Trying 209.3.31.115...
Connected to get.freebsd.because.microsoftsucks.net.
Escape character is '^]'.

Red Hat Linux release 5.0 (Hurricane)
Kernel 2.0.32 on an i586
login:                    

Weird?  Malicious?  Why?
