It wouldn't be a problem if it didn't mimic a DDOS attack.

Getting bombarded by many dozen SMTP connection in a very

short time-span iss a bit alarming (at least was to me).
Other than that, I agree, sendmail would drop them as "User

unknown" and that's the end of story.
Btw, your "reply-to" field contains my e-mail address.  Is that

intended?
