A sysop is trying to poll DOVE-Net using the Mystic QWKPOLL (v1.12 A45 Windows/32) and it's doing something weird. Here's the log output from my side (the FTP server):

  5/26  10:17:31p  2212 Hostname: 97-119-187-48.omah.qwest.net [97.119.187.48]

  5/26  10:17:32p  2212 TX: 230-PWECKQWK logged in.

  5/26  10:17:33p  2212 TX: 200 PORT Command successful.
  5/26  10:17:33p  2212 RX: RETR VERT.qwk
  5/26  10:17:33p  2212 TX: 150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for file transfer.
  5/26  10:17:35p  2212 <PWECKQWK> !DATA ERROR -1 (61) connecting to client 71.95.196.34 port 58864 on socket 2280

The problem is that "PORT" command up there sent by the client to my server. See, that's *my* IP address, but it's supposed to be *his* IP address (97.119.187.48).
