This probably goes with the territory if you have a dynamic IP address that could have been assigned to another machine that's been exploited (CPE-144-137-68-107.nsw.bigpond.net.au certainly looks like that may be the case). The policy I recommend to our ISP customers is that customers who are knowledgeable enough to run their own mail systems may be assigned fixed IP addresses outside the range of the ISP's dialup or dynamically assigned DSL blocks. We then assign meaningful host names to these IPs if the customer doesn't have their own domains that look like real hosts, not dynamic. Of course there's a nominal monthly charge for the fixed IP, and may or may not be a one-time charge to handle the setup depending on the relationship between the customer and the ISP.
