repeated incoming messages - over and over

We are seeing repeating messages in our Exchange 2000 server. All of the messages seem to come from listserv-type machines. Here's a log snippet of one:

ASL smtp proxy log:

2005:03:15-02:31:55 (none) exim[16221]: 2005-03-15 02:31:55 1DB6U3-0004Dd-5H H=infoworld.wc09.net [63.214.0.204] Warning: ACL "warn" statement skipped: condition test deferred:

Then the caching server's logs:

=31075, relay=10.1.1.37. [10.1.1.37], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (  Queued mail for delivery)

Our setup: 
 internet
  |
 asl 5.20
 |
 |- caching smtp server (linux, sendmail)
 |
 |- exchange 2000

Have any of you seen this behavior?

If so, what was the cause?

From looking at the logs, 

All 3 machines have MX rec's and reverse DNS rec's. All 3 machines, if you telnet to port 25, you see the ASL smtp proxy introduce itself.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
 Shane
