Unknown Outbound TCP/IP Connection

OK, this just started showing up on my system in the last couple of
days. The only change has been the install/apply of some group PTF's
and a FSP firmware PTF (EL340_101).

IBM says "not us". The local port number changes but remote is always
25 (SMTP). The IP address is securehost.com in the Bahamas - that's
scary enough.

I've looked at SMTP journals and not found anything I can tie to this.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.
