This is just an information message "hey, server [foo] connected to you X times". It specifically does not say if postfix either accepted or rejected a message from that server.


this would be a server which i would like to recieve mail from !

i grep'd throu the log:

Mar 24 13:57:05 womdsp postfix/smtpd[12654]: A83409C8092: client=m1smtp01.kmweg.de <http://m1smtp01.kmweg.de>[194.121.2.5] Mar 24 13:57:36 womdsp postfix/smtpd[12654]: disconnect from m1smtp01.kmweg.de <http://m1smtp01.kmweg.de>[194.121.2.5]

This looks like (part of) a normal delivery transaction (with extraneous HTML inserted by your mailer).

More informational messages about connections... This doesn't say anything about rejecting or accepting a message.

If you think you are rejecting messages from this server, grep your logs for 'reject: .*[194.121.2.5]'


so it seems that it is the case you mentioned.
i also find emails from this domain on my mx 20.

what should i do ?

Choices of what to do:
- Nothing.  Best choice.
- Contact the sender's postmaster and ask why they are sending to your MX20. You can't control what MX others connect to. - Get rid of all your backup MX's. They are mainly spam attractors anyway. Use multiple equal-weight MX's with identical settings if needed for load balancing.
