ASRG Group,
I've been working on smtp server software and have
noticed something very strange. We seem to have many
connections made, mostly at night, who connect to
port 25 and then disconnect right after the
220 Server Ready message. I was believing that I
had a bug in my software but now I am wondering if
this is a bot of some type. Do spammers run bots
to search for and create lists of mail servers to
attack? Is this what I'm seeing?

It also could be a survey like the one DJ Berstein runs
(http://cr.yp.to/surveys.html). Can you provide some more information, like
source IPs, etc.
