[NTLUG:Discuss] Please Help me interpret some Mail Log Entries...

[Cliff - NTLUG]

This to me seem's to be that someone made a connection to port 25 on the
server and never did anything else, the connection simply timed out before
the other side sent a message to you. If your getting it from just one ip
address then it could be on their end. If your getting these from multiple
IP addresses then you may want to review the setup of the SMTP program
and/or review any firewall information.

Cliff.
