Hello,

I have set up a postfix-dovecot server with smtp-auth using sasl by
following this link:
https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/postfix.html

It seems to be working OK. The only thing is that when I view my logs, I see
a lot of 'relaying denied', 'noqueue reject', 'too many errors after rcpt',
and 'disconnect' messages from a lot of unknown domain names and ip
addresses.

I'm hoping that this means that the server is secure and doing its job
bouncing mail from unauthorized requests. 

*** Is that true?

Even if it was true, it has to be slowing down the server receiving so many
unauthorized requests. 

*** Is there a way to avoid this or is this just a function of life in the
world of email spam? Would a spam filter like Spamassasin help this type of
issue?

Thanks!
