The only box I see on that list that looks interesting to me is 192.168.0.3.

I'd find that box.

I might assume some of that traffic is probably back-scatter -- bounces -- from a spam run. You could take a look at the messages over in the postmaster account, if postmaster delivery of otherwise undeliverable mail is enabled.

It's increasingly common to see back-scatter on undeliverable mail disabled.

The problem is that 192.168.0.3 is my servers ip. My other problem is that I can't look at the postmasters email account, because I can only send out via smtp.comcast.net. I can't get anything in. Also in the mail settings I told it to copy "all undeliverable mail" to postmaster@mackproductions.com and also "copy all mail" to the same account so that I could see what was being sent. But when I click save it changes the undeliverable mail to postmaster@yoda.mackproductions.com and leaves the "copy all" to postmaster@mackproductions.com. Also I notice that when I go to the general tab again under the smtp that I have told it "relay out going mail through host" smtp.comcast.net and then I enter my user name and password. Well again when I hit save it disappears. So if I can find out how to get stuff going to the postmasters inbox then I trouble shoot more. I don't get anything that I send from a yahoo account.
Sorry to be so much trouble but I really appreciate your help Thanks
