I'm sure that most people here were skeptical, but FWIW, the server that
hosts vistomail.com is a mess, it's a Plesk box with more than a couple of
services with dubious security histories. MailEnable smtpd, MSRPC, RDP, see
for yourself:

Most likely someone popped the box and is entertaining themselves.

Dude, while it does appear plausible that the box is insecure, is it truly
warranted to jump to any particular conclusion from that alone?

What if all the open ports is just because it is a honey pot?
