Because you are setup for dial up on demand.  When somebody connects and 
the machine has to make a DNS request, or some type of IP connection
that is not local to the machine, it is doing to dial up.

In addition, it will attempt to send/recieve mail everyone, dialing up 
the connection if needed.
