Well that's odd Michael. 

I know better than to add any other repositories, and don't install outside software on a BlueOnyx server.  So I'm curious how these could have gotten on the box if they weren't part of the BlueOnyx system.

Could they be attached to the old Nuonce AntiSPAM (MailScanner/MailWatch) system?  This server had that installed when first built years ago.  Although I've disabled pretty much all of it (for load reduction) - the software is still on the server.  Could those packages have been installed by the Nuonce software??

Info on those packages below.
