Not being sure whether I got what you mean: But this port 113 connection attempt came when I used sendmail to send my message directly to the redhat mail server, thus bypassing my ISP's machines ... I'm not worried about this (or should I ? ...), because at this instance I could relate this connect attempt to something that was initiated by me (i.e. by sending my mail)... Perhaps checking the headers of this mail will shed some light on it: again I will send it directly to the redhat mailserver ... And to clarify: I'm running a standalone machine here, at home, no LAN .. Thanks.
