Without more log entries, it's hard to tell.  Yes, it
*could* be a scanner (based on the time stamps, it
looks pretty automated), but it *could* also be
someone's browser.  Why does it have an email address
in both the username and password?  Well, w/ all of
the misconfigured machines out there, is it any wonder
that some dude misconfigured his browser's anon-FTP
entries?

I read your "welcome" msg:

Wow, you really are an aspiring BOfH!  You're msg says
that you will report *anyone* trying to log in, to
their ISPs, regardless!  So you're actually planning
to take the time to report everyone who logs in, even
legit users?!  Wow!  Yeah, I know you say your little
blurb about "illegal" access, but that somes after
your other message...sheesh, dude!  You're hard core!
