Looks to me like a spammer looking for new addresses to send their glorious
emails about loans and debt repayments to ;)
I checked this out on my RaQ4, and it denies the VRFY command:
VRFY browna
252 2.5.2 Cannot VRFY user; try RCPT to attempt delivery (or try finger)
And sure enough, in logs it appears as:
Jan 14 12:24:36 hegel sendmail[30628]: h0ECOXl30628: localhost [127.0.0.1]:
VRFY browna [rejected]
So its nothing to worry about, just sendmail doing its job and not exposing
your name/email to the world.
