It is using tcpserver. Could be ident queries. The firewall is wide-open
for outbound, but inbound, only smtp & dns are allowed. I'll play with the
firewall setting to see if it makes a diff! Thanks for the input.

How was qmail installed by the consultant? Do you know if it's using inetd
or tcpserver (or something more exotic) to listen to the SMTP port?
My guess is your server is trying to do ident queries (port 113) which are
disappearing into never-never land. tcpserver has an option to disable
this, not sure about inetd.
