Maybe.
You could see if you can turn debugging on and log what's being sent.
You could use tcpdump (linux) or some other tool for windows to snoop
their connection if they're not on via a secure channel.
You could connect to your server and find out who they are and ask
them, or check their idle time.
It's most likely stuck or forgotten clients but it could also be some
of those spambots.
