You shouldn't worry about that as long as you a patched up. If you have no need to receive email from the outside you can block it but you need to have it unblocked for outgoing.
Amazon only restricts you if you have more than one IP. Doesn't sound like that's an issue. If you are running cpanel you should be fairly secure. I recommend visiting a security site and having them scan your server for vunerabilities. Then do backups on the reg. -- Mike McKoy *404.590.7176* http://MyForeverHair.com http://www.MyModelTalk.com http://InCrowdUSA.net http://www.google.com/profiles/mikemckoy On Mon, Jun 15, 2015 at 9:50 AM, Jithesh AP <jithesh...@gmail.com> wrote: > Yes it is amazon and i can restrict or remove the restriction on port > 25, i asked this question as i saw requests coming in from unknown hosts > that i know are not aware of my domain (since mine is very new).
