After looking at their web pages, I'd write to their postmaster and
complain about the probes - they don't *appear* to be completely bogus
and I don't have any record of them or their IP range in any of my spam
databases here. They *do* advertise "auto-responders" and SMTP-less
delivery agents (which makes no particular sense) so they could just be
well cloaked.
