Hi Viktor,

Thanks for the interpretation of the log entry.

The strange thing that is observed in the log is no-reply=19=tjsb....@xxx.co.in 
 

The user email id at the email server is tjsb....@xxx.co.in  so my worry is 
what is the " no-reply=19=" string getting appended before the user email id 
"tjsb....@xxx.co.in" 

Is this a postfix qmgr process that is adding this string? 

And I can see many such entries in /var/maillog particularly for postfix/qmgr 
process with the random number getting appended as "no-reply=XX="user email 
address

Thanks & Regards,
Jitendra Chaudhari

What looked strange to you?

This message is likely downstream of a content_filter, that forwarded it with 
"xforward" enabled, to record the original client IP address.  That IP address 
is an RFC1918 (192.168.0.0/16) non-public IP address, so the message is 
purportedly from a client inside your network.

To see the log entries recording the original mesasge coming in, look for other 
log entries that contain either "36421809DB5" or  the above message-id.  Then 
find all entries for *that* queue-id.

Nothing interesting here.  Unless you suspect that this message should not have 
been accepted in the first place.

The message was then delivered to some SMTP server on port 366 (or did you also 
obfuscate the port number)?
