Steve,

The answer is "the cisco router only neglected the illegal
requests from HP's OV(OpenView).". One of our NOC guys told me
that the problem occurred when he deleted a node object in OV. So, 
I guess OV tried to reset SMTP trap vector regardless of the
object type when the delete operation was executed. Unfortunately, 
the trap reset operation has a bug which sends the SMTP request
to the node every 0.005 second.

To protect our network from the disaster, we assigned TTL value
999...999 to each object so that any object would not be deleted
automatically. Of course, any object should not be deleted
manually. FYI, our OV version is 2.0.

Yes. But, I'd like to express my thanks to you.
