Uh, i'm really confused as to what is going on here. Why is it coming 
into my gateway and my gateway turnin around and relaying it?
I just checked with www.ordb.org, ran their test as well as 
www.abuse.net to ensure I wasn't a open relay and i passed with flying 
colors.

I'm confused right now.

Anyone have any idea? Im annoyed but concerned right now.

I appreciate it.
