there's a really common cgi script called formail.cgi/formail.pl that is 
routinely exploited to relay mail, that maybe what they're checking for... 
(look in your error logs for an attempt at formail)


surely a webserver itself doesn't send mail, but a program that the webserver 
runs certainly can (and does)
