    In my ISPConfig 3 logs, under mail warnings - logs, I get entries like the following all the time. I would like confirmation that these entries are postfix et al blocking or warning about incoming spam into the server. I WANT TO VERIFY THAT THESE ARE NOT ENTRIES PERTAINING TO OUTGOING MAIL - MAIL BEING SENT BY THE SERVER - THAT WOULD MEAN A HACKER HAS CONTROL OF OUR MAILSERVER OR SERVER. Thanks for help understanding.

    Hello,

    Just warnings from connections to your mail server. This warning is logged because the remote client have "poor" dns configuration.

    However you should check your logs and see the full history and not only the connection.

    For example:

    Code:
    grep 190.191.181.146 /var/log/mail.log
    
    If you need more help just paste here some results.

    Cheers!
