I've been getting a quite a few of remote smtpd ( remote ) connects that
retry and retry over again. I'm not sure what to make of it.
This is how I start qmail-smtpd:
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -x/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -u1002 -g101 0 smtp
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1 | /var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd 3 &
This is what I'm getting in my logs:
Apr 5 11:10:40 xadex smtpd: 923335840.544574 tcpserver: ok 1883
xadex.blah.net:xxx.xxx.230.11:25 www.ancestry.com:192.216.182.65::1666

At first I thought it was some kind of SPAM relaying but now I'm not sure.
Does anyone have any ideas ?
Thanks.
