EXPN and VRFY signature

All,

Yesterday, I had 4000+ connections from one of my servers to our name servers.  One of the things that I did was cut 
off mail and connections seemed to have dropped.  My mail logs shows:

Jun 11 10:03:18 prod sendmail[25805]: NOQUEUE: Null connection from [10.19.3
3.47]
Jun 11 10:03:34 prod sendmail[26752]: NOQUEUE: [10.19.33.47]: EXPN root
Jun 11 10:03:34 prod sendmail[26877]: NOQUEUE: [10.19.33.47]: VRFY root
Jun 11 10:31:39 prod sendmail[13549]: KAA0000013549: lost input channel from
 [10.19.33.47]
Jun 11 10:31:39 prod sendmail[13549]: KAA0000013549: from=blade@lans, size=0
, class=0, pri=0, nrcpts=1, proto=SMTP, relay=[10.19.33.47]

Is this the signature of a EXPN and VRFY exploit?

Thanks,

T.
