There is an ip number that started showing up in my postfix logs as trying to access my smtp server (and access was apparently denied each time). I assumed that someone was trying to use my machine as a relay. To make sure that they can't get through, I blocked the ip address using ipchains. In one day, I now see over 600 failed attempts to access my computer. Should I just ignore this now that ipchains is blocking them, or is this something that should worry me.
