Maybe I am paranoid, but, I have been getting a LOT of these types of
messages in my mail log of late.  I have firewalled the biggest
offender, who has made over 700 of these connects in the last day.  I
found my system loaded, and LOTS of sendmail prcessess running when I
came in this morning.  A tail -f of the maillog revealed all these
NOQUEUE Null connections being made every few seconds.

Could someone please shed some light on what is ( or might ) be going on
here?

Thanks in advance.

Blaine
