Once. A windows box in the UAE, if I remember correctly. It connected, 
sent MAIL FROM and RCP TO, got a 50x, disconnected, and tried again 
five minutes later. When I noticed it, it had been doing so for as long 
as I had logs, probably 99 weeks.
On one hand, it was extremely irritating once I was aware of it. On the 
other, I didn't exactly notice it at once ;)
