It sounds like something is trying to authenticate with the wrong
password, an email client or similar, or it could be something worse,
a virus for instance. I would remove that client from the domain until
you can completely check/test it. If all else fails, wipe the client and
start again, you do have all the important data backed up, don't you ?
