Dave,
From my first email, somebody had been sending mail from my machine or with my domain name because my ISP threatened to close my account if I didn't stop it.  After poking around, that was the only thing I could find that was weird.  I've got relaying off in postfix, so I don't know if somebody compromised my machine or if the headers were forged.

The /USR/SBIN/CRON as a child of /usr/sbin/cron was the only thing weird I could find and I couldn't trace down what was starting it.  I'll do more investigation, buy maybe my machine is OK.

thanks,
   - Roger
