My daily "security check output" (autogenerated mail sent to root, enabled
by default in freebsd) contains a variying number of lines just like this:

arp: unknown hardware address format (0x0800)

Is this something I should be worried about?

These entries (or something similar) also appears fairly frequently
(I replaced my real dns-name with "my.hostname.domain")

Checking for rejected mail hosts:
   5 malvix.hist.no
   2 my.hostname.domain
   2 malvix.hist.no@my.hostname.domain
   1 <malvix.hist.no!kan2na
   1 <kan2na@
   1 <kan2na%malvix.hist.no
   1 <kan2na
   1 <@myhostname.domain:kan2na@malvix.hist.no

This looks kinda suspicous to me, what could it mean?

I figured freebsd-security would be a fitting place to ask, since it's
about the output from the "freebsd security check" script.
