I got one today too, and a reverse DNS on the IP gave
3dtee.apl.washington.edu.  So if anyone at the Applied Physics Lab at
Washington University reads this, be more careful next time.  The sysadmin
there said he would scan the computer first thing Tuesday morning, so
hopefully the problem will be taken care of quickly. Was the one you
received sent from 128.95.148.34?

Oddly, the "error message" I received was just a long mix of random
characters, rather than anything intelligible or even alphabetic.  I'm nto
sure what to think of that.
