What makes you think it's inbound from the internet?  If it says "IN=3Det=
h0"=20
then that is likely where it is coming in, from a machine on the LAN that=
 is=20
(for whatever reason :^) claiming an IP other than what it is supposed to=
=20
have.

Actually, OUT=3D"", undefined, would be more accurate, since the packet i=
s=20
currently INbound (at eth0) from MAC and SRC.  You're catching the packet=
=20
before it reaches a routing decision for OUTPUT.

Very likely the MAC similarity is another NIC in your LAN, from the same=20
source & lot.  I have two that are sequentially numbered.

Try logging a sample of packets containing that MAC address, see if most =
of=20
them are a machine on your LAN.  If it's a single machine inside your=20
network, then find out if it's a fluke. (not likely :^) deliberate on the=

part of the user, or some trojan/bot thingy or an unsecured mail server o=
r=20
something.
