between 7:46AM and 8:26AM my smptp logs are FULL of the following, same
address, IP, etc. Is this a a-hole trying to relay through us?
If the "RCPT TO:" addresses are not on your domains, they are trying to relay through you, and clueless. If those are your domains, they are engaging in a "dictionary attack" (trying to guess valid addresses on your mailserver).

we have the no relay set so it seems nothing went through,
The logs do show that nothing went through.  :)

my other question, what's the best option to block a later
possible attempt? use the IP? the username?
The best way is blocking the IP in IMail's Control Access file, if they are all coming from the same IP. That way, they can't send anything that IMail will respond to.
