Our james-server.log file today is showing lots of these:

INFO  19:50:30,910 | james.smtpserver | ID=11635173 Connection
established from 218.87.219.86 (218.87.219.86)
ERROR 19:50:33,252 | james.smtpserver | ID=11635173 AUTH method LOGIN failed
INFO  19:50:34,265 | james.smtpserver | ID=11635173 Connection closed
for 218.87.219.86 (218.87.219.86)

I'm assuming this is a bad actor trying to use our James server as an
open relay. The annoying part is that we have log4j configured to send
us emails on any ERROR logs, so we're notified if our mailets throw
exceptions.

I'm getting one of these emails every 10 secs or so.

Is there a way to either:
1) reduce log level of "AUTH method LOGIN failed" to WARN? should this
really even be at the ERROR level to begin with?
2) Ignore all traffic from 218.87.219.86

Thanks,
Zach
