Relay attempts
in general, all is Ok in last monthly maintenance:
PMAS statistics for July
Total messages    :   6052 = 100.0 o/o
DNS Blacklisted   :      0 =    .0 o/o (Files:  0)

        Delivered :    285 =  15.1 o/o (processed),   4.7 o/o (all)

but the number of relay attempts is very hihgh. Again, these are mainly of Chinese origin:

  • 111.202.57.39 in two days (adjacent), 878 and 390 attempts
  • 95.208.192.227 with 115 attampts (one day)
  • 157.122.147.2 with 2291 attampts in one day
  • 157.122.148.194 with 413 attampts
  • The latter two are the same network.
    I had to re-configure the router a few weeks ago and didn’t restore the objects – the last one was one of them. Well, they have again been added so the number of relay attemps from these addresses (and spam sent from them) will be blocked. ANY access, in fact.
