The SMTP protocol also has NOOP commands. It's highly unlikely that your FTP actions are the cause of this, but if you want to be absolutely sure, compare the firewall log times with the event log time.

I have posted this error with before without anyone responding. Today I was downloading data using "SmartFTP" The following was observed: 227 Entering Passive Mode (195,116,91,206,185,203) Opening data connection IP: 195,116,91,206,185,203 PORT: 47563. RETR blacklists2004.981_axp.zip 125 Data connection already open; Transfer starting. 2245682 bytes received successfully. (5.18 KB/s) (00:07:03). 226 Transfer complete. NOOP 200 NOOP command successful. NOOP Is it possible that port 25 is subject to FTP attack? Thus causing these the errors?
