Just out of curiosity -- is this testing due to the "Happy99" trojan horse
going around?  The KKYTBS list was just bit by that...

For those that don't know, the Happy99.exe virus replaces a Win95/98
WINSOCK.DLL with a custom one.  That WINSOCK looks for outgoing mail
connections and when it finds one it snatches the recipient e-mail
addresses and sends itself to the same person.  Nothing more that that, or
so I've heard...
