Hi,

I'm seeing in my logs :-

2003-06-20 13:50:37 no host name found for IP address 213.1.253.57
2003-06-20 13:50:38 rejected HELO from [213.1.253.57]: syntactically invalid
argument(s): ECLEAR_SERVER

I contacted the postmaster at the guilty domain and he said they would
look into it. As yet nothing has come back (this is nearly a fortnight
ago) and these messages appear in my log files every few seconds.

Before I put a firewall rule in to stop the stuff coming through, has
anybody seen anything like it before or can they at least point me in
the right direction ?

It's Exim 4.14 running on Linux.

Regards,


Dave
