Very strange nmap scan results


Hi all,

For a client in scaning his Dmz from the internet.

I know the servers are behind a pix 515 without any
add security features ( they dont have any ips or
the
didnt enabled the ips feature of the pix). they also
dont have any honeypot etc..

the strange is that two I receive too many open
ports!
for example I scan the mail relay and although just
port 25 is open it report lots of more open ports!
this is the nmap scan I issued:

nmap -sT -vv -P0 -O -p1-1024 200.61.44.48/28 -oA
cpsa.txt

( I changed the ip's here...)

and the result for the mail relay for example are:


nteresting ports on mail.cpsa.com (200.61.44.50):
PORT STATE SERVICE
1/tcp open tcpmux
2/tcp open compressnet
3/tcp open compressnet
4/tcp open unknown
5/tcp open rje
6/tcp open unknown
7/tcp open echo
8/tcp filtered unknown
9/tcp open discard
10/tcp open unknown
11/tcp open systat
12/tcp open unknown
13/tcp open daytime
14/tcp open unknown
15/tcp open netstat
16/tcp open unknown
17/tcp open qotd
18/tcp filtered msp
19/tcp open chargen
20/tcp open ftp-data
21/tcp open ftp
22/tcp open ssh
23/tcp open telnet
24/tcp open priv-mail
25/tcp open smtp
26/tcp open unknown
27/tcp open nsw-fe
28/tcp open unknown
29/tcp open msg-icp
30/tcp open unknown
31/tcp open msg-auth
32/tcp open unknown
33/tcp open dsp
34/tcp open unknown

this continues up to port 1024..

any ideas how to eliminate so many false positives?

thanks a lot,

Juan
