It's more likely a problem with user education ;P If he's seeing hits on
port 113, and he's using your machine as his outbound SMTP server, this is
erfectly normal, and he needs to go read RFC931...
(This is annoyingly common with windows 'firewall' programs)
If he's seeing hits on some other port, or he's not using your machine as
his mail server, then you need to look at what he logged....
