tty1 is a local console. This is not a network terminal :)

What version of the IMAP server are you running. A member of the list
was hacked recently, we believe through a beta version of IMAP. Try
"rpm -Va >> rpm.test" Look at the contents of rpm.test afterwards and
make sure your binaries are all intact. Then reload sendmail and all
it's configurations files, or load qmail (my personal recommendation).
