Hi all,

For the past three days I've been getting hits on my firewall from a 
particular overseas site.  They don't look especially malicious to me
(mostly from and to ports in the 5xxxx and 6xxxx range).  The ports
aren't sequential, so I'm assuming it's not a port scan.  It is irritating
and filling my logs, so I'd like to put a stop to it.

My question: Who do I send my inquiry to on the other end?  
Postmaster?  It would seem to be the only universal address.  Is there
a quasi-standard acceptable way to say "What the #@!! are you 
people trying to do to my firewall?"  After all, it *could* be an honest
mistake and I don't wish to appear overly accusatory.

In this case, my efforts may be futile (Do they speak English?), but
this sort of thing occurs fairly often and I'd like to develop a procedure
for dealing with it.  (Gad!  I sound like a manager!)

Cheers,
Lyn
