Please look at these Exim log entries



Thanks for reading this. I've got two questions regarding my exim logs:
I've just started receiving SMTP again, and I'm a bit rusty on the 
log entries ;-J

1. This looks like a dictionary attack, but my wife is a nurse and 
she has used epocrates, although not with either "cresler" or "mosher" as 
a user name: is it a probe?

2005-09-16 23:25:36 verify failed for SMTP recipient
CRESLER at TIMESUCKER.HOMELINUX.ORG from
<0640908066008.3953720 at b.prod.survey.epocrates.com>

2. Will disabling verify break anything?

Thanks for your help: all advice welcome.
