    After detailed investigation, I've found that it is really caused by PHP 
    debugger. All packet disappeared after I have turned off the debugging 
    feature of PHP. But what caused the PHP debugging to remotely sending 
    information out ? Is it a sign of hacker or actually there are some bugs 
    with the PHP programs ? Coz I am running squirrel mail on that mail server.
