 Since this is an attack on name servers, I found the following
http://www.cert.org/summaries/CS-98.04.html it may or may not be relvent.
But it mentions IMAP, named and that attacks come from name servers that
have been comprimised.

Let me guess - the IP is 209.67.50.254, and they're trying to login to

I'm seeing that IP address trying to telnet into my name servers (don't
know if it's as root, since my filters are blocking them). I also see
them trying to access IMAP on my servers.
