TIME_WAIT means that a connection has been closed but the server is hanging
around for a little bit to clear up any packets that belong to that
connection.
Look at the TIME_WAIT lines:
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State
tcp 0 0 192.168.1.2:25 10.10.0.3:1070 TIME_WAIT
If 'Local Address' has :25 after it, then yes, it was a mail
connection that is waiting to be cleaned up. If it has a different port,
then it is a different type of connection.
Seeing some of these is not necessarily an indication of a problem.
Seeing a large number of these may indicate a problem.
