it's a qmail feature. If it sends you an email and it bounces. It tries to 
send a few probes. If they bounce it unsubscribes you.

I think it's safe to disable those calls for win32 anyway, unless win32 has 
the same Large File Support as Unices do. That's the reason they were 
introduced recently. Courtesy of Joe Orton, who I hope will come back and help 
us finish a few other open issues on Solaris (hey Joe :).
