First, I'm sending this from a mail account that is not subscribed to
the list so please cc me.  I'm doing this because my mail server runs
off of a dynamic IP address via DNS2GO.  AT&T recently changed my
dynamic IP that I had had for over a year to a new one.  The top
level dns servers have not caught up with this change yet.  The
result is bounced mail to *@freebsd.org because of a failure to
resolve a reverse hostname lookup.

On to my question:

The past few days have seen some strange activity in my log files.

Whats going on here?

I just changed most of my passwords and changed the root password to
an 18 digit alpha numeric string.  I have SMTP-AUTH on and working
all relays have been turned off.  I checked my /etc/hosts, groups,
passwd as well as "last" and everything appears to be secure.  I have
restricted sshd to only one particular IP.  Firewalled off all
unnecessary ports and removed everything possible from hosts.allow. 
I'm running 8.11.6 sendmail, but can't find the version of ssh.  Do I
need to do anything else?  This appears to be a program running
various probes to determine my systems security level.  Am I wrong?
