can someone tell me what this error message means?

Hi Paula,

My un-educated guess is that it is maybe an active security scanner on
your network probing your server for vulnerabilities -- like Nessus?
Either that, or perhaps some kind of a worm or similar thing probing
you. Or, maybe something legitimate but very mis-configured -- in any
case, those are my best guesses.
