What the log shows is that IP address 122.124.130.221 connected to whatever
machine generated that log line, and then said:
HELO 64.22.109.63
MAIL FROM:<hi7188s.pp5975@???>
RCPT TO:<toxxx@???>
i.e. a bogus HELO, and the RCPT command was then rejected ("relay not
permitted").
I would guess that the log line is taken from your smart host's log, and that
122.124.130.221 is nothing to do with you, and that all this means is that
122.124.130.221 tried to relay mail through your smart host, and your smart
host rejected this.
Does that help? I'm not quite sure if that answers your original question.
