I recently was sent a log from the firewall on co-located machine here, 
and it claims that one of my SIMS servers is trying to connect to the 
firewall on port 110. It is trying this every two minutes.

I see nothing in my SIMS logs to back this up, and I can't think of any 
reason why SIMS would try to connect to ANYTHING on port 110. Port 25 I 
could at least accept that there is a DNS error somewhere and it thinks 
the firewall is another mail server, but am I correct in assuming that 
there is NO reason that SIMS would try to connect out to another machine 
over POP?

I have been having a hell of a time here with random port deafness, and I 
suspect that this wacky firewall log may be related. I am just trying to 
rule out the connection really coming from SIMS for a known reason.

Any of you pros know why SIMS would do this, or if SIMS is even capable 
of doing this? Or should I start looking for another cause (like someone 
spoofing my server address in an attempt to gain access to the network).
