Andrew,
I expect that the attack was automated, and, disappointingly, would not
be un-common. ANYTHING with 'exposure' will get probed within a few
minutes of going live. If you got 65,000 emails you need to
re-configure your logging settings to summarise, not send one for every
event. Also, I'd guess from the WRT logs that your router may have been
what looked like it was worth having a go at. To an attacker there's a
big chance that something so configurable could have 'holes'.
I remember about 15 years ago (Dial up modem days) it took less than a
minute for probes to start on a new Windows machine.
Hang in there.
Dave
