Thanks for the reply.

NOTE: None of my users will have sent anything from outside the US.

I've got some log entries for vchkpw-submission (marked as successful in the log) with non-US IP's (Russia, Egypt, Honk Kong, etc).In my analysis I'm marking those entries as hacked accounts.

From what I read from your response, vchkpw-smtp (marked as successful in the log) entries could be mail sent TO my server FROM another server on port 25. That tells me those are probably safe submissions - even if they are from overseas IPs. Am I thinking correctly?
