I have seen the same thing with other installs of SME Server. The  
machines I saw it on were properly firewalled and not even visible.

People I know have come to the conclusion that it was software already  
embedded within the system at distribution. It got activated in idle  
time. It was doing spam mass mailing.

I wonder if this is what you experienced ?
