Somebody try to send spam with your webserver.
After number of mail relays is dropped down and and that mail relays are in
orbs too, the spammers try another way to send messages. One of them is the
badly configured webservers/firewalls, that accept CONNECT without further
inspection.
Another way is across ftp servers, with bounce attack and open incoming
directory.

I think that he/she try it too hard, :)) and because of this your webserver
et full of memory.

A feladatot nem arra kell bízni aki vállalja, hanem arra, aki ért hozzá.
