Where did you find SMTP?  SMTP lives on port 25/tcp.  Unless some

he said 'snmp', which sits on 167/udp. he also saaw 1067/udp. a typo,
perhaps, given the recent spate of snmp problems.

Subject: Strange UDP Activity

I recently started seeing strange UDP traffic to my home DSL, which is
included below. It has been active for the last 4 days at all hours.
None of these IPs are DNS servers that I use, and much of the activity
is when all of my computers are off. Google led me to port 1067 as
being an SNMP port, but I have SNMP disabled on all devices at home,
and the ACL blocks it anyway.
