Any ideas what this might be?

First, there is no POP server on this machine, it looks to me like a shot in
the dark.  This is our web server, so it is our most visible host on the
internet, and I get alot of weird connection attempts to it.  This is the
only re-occuring pattern that I see on a weekly basis. It's always the same;
one or two packets to port 110, then a a couple batches of 100+ to the same
port, then I guess they give up.  It is usually from a host in another
country (Malaysia or Italy), and there is no reason for any of our employees
to be at these sites.

Weird!
