The email post does not give you a lot of information about what it was that probed the site. For better information you can go to (under Ubuntu and some other flavors of linux) ~/var/log/apache2 and look at access.log which will give you a running account of IP address and which files were accessed. Error.log can also be found there as well as all of the archived logs from past days.

Is it really apache that detects the probe? Because I also have portsentry running.
