It looks like those external ip addresses are being denied by your firewall to connect to the inside. All the from ports are 110 which is pop email, so it's almost like those people are trying to send relay traffic or something over your connection, but again it's being denied.

Hi,

I am getting some confusing log entries from my Cisco Pix firewall. At
first I thought that it was a network problem but I don't have any other
evidence to support that assumption.

The log entries look like this. Destination IP addresses changed....
