No, has nothing to do with the dictionary attack on my box.  For example:

Jun  7 11:51:36 bugzilla postfix/qmgr[632]: E27EB83B57: from=<[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]>, size=1149,
nrcpt=1 (queue active)
Jun  7 11:51:36 bugzilla postfix/smtp[18593]: E27EB83B57: to=<[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]>,
relay=none, delay=1, status=deferred (connect to 
mail.apache.org[209.237.227.199]: server dropped
connection without sending the initial greeting)
[...]
Jun  7 19:23:21 bugzilla postfix/qmgr[632]: E27EB83B57: from=<[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]>, size=1149,
nrcpt=1 (queue active)
Jun  7 19:23:32 bugzilla postfix/smtp[23252]: E27EB83B57: to=<[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]>,
relay=mail.apache.org[209.237.227.199], delay=27117, status=sent (250 Queued!
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>)

apparently mail.apache.org was dropping our connections for ~6 hours.
mail I sent to the -dev list at 11am only showed up at some point in
the evening -- my response to it showed up before the original message.


on a side tangent though, I used to have ~7k spamtrap addresses on my
box, mostly generated from previous dictionary attacks.  in the past
week, there are 140k new addresses (that's after running through uniq)
listed as "unknown" in my mail log.  <grumble>
