how to get rid of Connection attempts using mod_proxy

[Ankush Grover]

hey friends,

 I am running Apache on FC3. For last few days I am regulary seeing
some Connection attempts using mod_proxy through the below listed
addresses in the logs.

output of logwatch
124.8.0.88 -> smtp.pchome.com.tw:25 : 2 Time(s)
   124.8.21.214 -> smtp.pchome.com.tw:25 : 2 Time(s)
   124.8.3.72 -> smtp.pchome.com.tw:25 : 8 Time(s)
   220.132.20.167 -> smtp.pchome.com.tw:25 : 2 Time(s)

I can block these addresses through IPtables what I am interested in
knowing is that should I disable mod_proxy module in apache. Well I
don't know much about mod_proxy I am using squid as proxy server for
my domain. Disabling mod_proxy will have any impact on the performance
of the squid.

Thanks & Regards
