Good morning all.

I was perusing the logs on one of my list servers, and I came across 
the following entries:

STARTTLS=client, relay=mx1c1.megamailservers.com., version=TLSv1/SSLv3, 
verify=FAIL, cipher=DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA, bits=256/256: 1 Time(s)
    STARTTLS=client, relay=webmail.vanion.com., version=TLSv1/SSLv3, 
verify=FAIL, cipher=DES-CBC3-SHA, bits=168/168: 1 Time(s)
    STARTTLS=client, relay=mail.randomwalk.com., version=TLSv1/SSLv3, 
verify=FAIL, cipher=DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA, bits=256/256: 1 Time(s)
    STARTTLS=client, relay=davegrover.com., version=TLSv1/SSLv3, 
verify=FAIL, cipher=AES256-SHA, bits=256/256: 1 Time(s)


there are people from the randomwalk.com and davegrover.com that are 
members of lists on the box.  Does this mean that the messages did not 
reach them?  Or is it their mail servers responding, probing me to see 
if I'm an open relay?

thanks,
