well i'm still getting the usual 70-odd hits myself, but i've also noticed they've changed tack and are now scanning my

No, IRC is not running on any of my servers.

The scanning seems to have slowed down--ony 75 so far today (against 5

to do with connections to IRC servers, They don't claim to be
scanning the
whole Internet - are these scans against hosts that you use IRC from
?

Yes, the e-mail address in the header is valid, however you must 
remove the words "REMOVETHIS" and "ANDTHIS" for it to go anywhere.

My actions are my own and I dont speak for anyone else.
