I saw the same search signature from a USWest (QWest now) server
on Aug 16th.  Yes I notified then and received some responce.
What is interesting is it looked to be one of the machines in
their own labs.

Oh don't even get me started on Pac Bell.  I've been getting massive
telnet and imap scans from one of their IP's (63.203.107.5), which
appears
to be a Linux box(and probably a rooted one).  Think Pac Bell/SBC has
even
looked at my email yet?  [keeping in mind the fact that I get my
'enhanced' DSL from PB/SBC as well]


Actually, it's interesting that you note that... over the weekend, I got
the same scan from the same host, and they e-mailed me back (my own IP
address masked):
