A weird connection on my SMTP server.

Hi,

I've been noticing every day I get this connection once on my SMTP server:

Connection from 62.173.68.51, Sun May 27 00:02:16 2007
EHLO mlort1.messagelabs.net
MAIL FROM:[email protected]
RCPT TO:[email protected]
QUIT
1 sec. elapsed, connection closed Sun May 27 00:02:17 2007

I'm not sure how they actually manage to connect as I have limited connections to 192.168.1.1 -> 192.168.1.40.

It doesn't look like it connects to spam as there's only one connection.

Any ideas please?

Thanks,
Craig.
 
your connections are clearly not limited as much as you think. If it's always the same incoming IP you could block it on your firewall. I would check your SMTP server settings (sendmail.conf or whatever your server software uses); whatever, I'd be unhappy that they're getting as far as they are.
