    Hmm -- someone's idea of a stealth-scan of port 143, looking for IMAP
    daemons to come back to and try a buffer overflow on?  I see about three to
    four IMAP exploit attempts on my network a week, most either immediately
    hitting port 143 without checking, or preceeded by a scan (TCP connect).
    I've been running NFR for about a week to see if anyone was stealth-scanning
    for IMAP, but haven't seen it in the wild yet.  New script out there for the
    kiddies to play with?

    nuqneH,
    
    Does anybody know what does it all mean? Looks like a new scan for me..
    How is it expected to work?
    imap as destination, weird source port and flags..
    
    No other "strange" packets arrived as OS type checkers do.
