imho the attempts have tcp state. I experienced similar from a minor
number of non relays. It seems like you gather too many statefull connects.
The ips might not be evil.
Heavy action can be you purge them or tcpdrop(8) before they hurt. Or
connection limit by ip per firewall.

Good luck and cheers, Felix
