What would you like to know about my situation? I have 6 servers running
Centos 4.x and every time I get a SYD flood on port 110 the servers require
a reboot (all of them). Its been going on for a few months.
I have blocked the first few IP's but now its random, every few weeks.
Its only my Centos boxes as I have others that are not affect by it.
Does the help?
Thanks in advance.

port 110 is your POP server, probably dovecot.

I don't see this statement in your logs. How/where does it say this?

SYN floods are not unusual, even if it is not an attack.
What or if you want to do something depends on your situation.
