Our firewall (Sonicwall) has been sending me 'port scan' and 'ping of death
blocked' alerts for several days now; a few per day.

I checked one IP today, and it belonged to Colgate-Palmolive, colpal.com.
An IP on the same subnet was listed in IMail's SMTPD Access Control List.  I
removed that IP, and a personal (not spam) message came through from that
IP.

Do big companies use port scans and pings of death to get a net admin's
attention, like banging on a door?
