[SpamCop-List] 1214

[Slartibardfast & Zephod Beeblebrox]

What precisely uses port 1214?
Somebody's been trying to gain access to port 1214 on my machine for about
half an hour, sending the probes from a huge number of I/P addresses. I'll
enclose the list. I know it's the wrong forum but it could be a spammer.
Just what's so special that port 1214 is so interesting for the guy to try
to access it from so many different ISPs? Is it perhaps a denial of service
attack? If the guy got through, would he be looking for email addresses to
send spam to?
