Last night at around 7pm EST I got these two log entries from my IDS server.

Jul  5 19:06:33 IDS snort[340]: IDS31/SMTP-expn-root: 207.126.127.68:53244
-> XXX.XXX.XXX.10:25
Jul  5 19:06:33 IDS snort[340]: IDS31/SMTP-expn-root: 207.126.127.68:53244
-> XXX.XXX.XXX.10:25

Weird thing is that originating IP address is "lists.securityfocus.com".
I've been on these lists for over a month and this is the first time I've
ever seen this message come up in my IDS.

Anyone know why this may occur that I'm missing?
