[IMail Forum] Auto-deny possible hack attempts

[Kevin Stanford]

I am running Imail 6.02 with Webshield for SMTP on the same server. Last 
Friday my server went down twice and only after rebooting it came back up. 
I checked the logs and found the following line:

06:27 20:51 SMTPD(098700D8) Possible hack attempt from 10.100.1.17, address 
will be denied future connections until restart

I do have Auto-deny possible hack attempts turned on. At this point I do 
not have a clue as to what caused this. I looked through my Webshield logs 
and could not find anything out of the ordinary. Should I keep the 
"auto-deny possible hack attempts" turned on? Are there any other places I 
can look to see if someone was actually trying to "hack" us?

Thanks for any insight.

Kevin
