I recently got a few times some odd security alerts:

   VRFY 000.000@my.domain
   VRFY 00000096@my.domain
   VRFY 000001@my.domain
   VRFY 00000219@my.domain
   VRFY 0000028252@my.domain

Different days from the same IP. I doubt they were looking 
for valid users and half suspect some sort of weird Internet 
tool ( ala 3DNS). Maybe it is checking for a trojan?

Similar logs or info about it (or guesses ;) appreciated.
