relay attempts?

I was looking through my mail logs today, and they're showing that there
was about 200 attempts in 2 minutes to try and send mail through my
server. Some example entries are below:

Aug 27 22:32:47 www sendmail[19673]: g7S6WkL19673: ruleset=check_rcpt,
arg1=<ddd9080@aol.com>, relay=port-212-202-152-2.reverse.qsc.de
[212.202.152.2], reject=550 5.7.1 <ddd9080@aol.com>... Relaying denied
Aug 27 22:32:48 www sendmail[19673]: g7S6WkL19673: ruleset=check_rcpt,
arg1=<lucid1@flash.net>, relay=port-212-202-152-2.reverse.qsc.de
[212.202.152.2], reject=550 5.7.1 <lucid1@flash.net>... Relaying denied

Other than the two minute session of 200 attempts, I typically get about
one attempt like this once a week or so on average. Is this anything to
be worried about, or should I just ignore them like the IIS virus
attempts that make up 95% of my apache logs? :)

Thanks,
Justin
