    Hey Rick,

    Looks like you're not setting the HELO name during the SMTP session.
    The following wiki page may be helpful: https://wiki.synchro.net/ server:mail?s[]=smtp.

    These log messages indicate an incoming conntion (receive) activity - Not sending. Sending activity is indicated with the word "SEND" in the log messages.

    Sorry for the length of the log file. Do I have a wrong setting or what am I missing?

    Do you recoginize the IP address 3.149.229.176? It looks like something just scanning your ports that didn't expect to find an SMTP server there.

    I retract my previous reply. Looks like Digital Man is right. It's an
    incoming connection, not an outgoing one.

    D'oh!
