Good time of day!
There are strange things are happens in my local network for an indefined period. I saw such records in maillog: 
Feb 13 23:46:35 perfect ipop3d[23091]: AUTHENTICATE twinkie failure host=[192.168.1.200]
Feb 14 08:37:13 perfect ipop3d[24749]: AUTHENTICATE twinkie failure host=[192.168.1.141]
Feb 14 08:51:31 perfect ipop3d[24812]: AUTHENTICATE twinkie failure host=[192.168.1.136]

As you can see they are from different hosts, running win95-win98. What it could be?
            10x,
