Just to be sure Simon, you should check your SMTP logs to verify that they
aren't sending any mail. That'll also tell you what they're doing depending
on logging level.

Ok Mark thanks.......Anti-Spam program ? 

Not installed as it has never been a problem here in the UK with this
company. Unless the company gets inundated (which it isn't)  I guess I can
ignore these "connections" can I ?  

Not being up in the world of the spammer can you tell me what they are doing
when having these sessions open ?
Assuming they can't do anything - what's the point ?

Your going to keep getting them, if not from those address then from some
others, its just spammers trying to send you spam, your anti-spam program
should take care of it, it would be a waste of time sitting there trying to
kill all the SMTP connection that you don't know about.

I have specific IP address of 218.166.160.136, 218.167.71.181 and
61.223.89.221 which all appear to belong to the same company in Taiwan....

http://www.MSExchange.org/

I've been having a look at E2K Manager and Current Sessions and have found
several "unknown" users appearing for upto 6k+ seconds. I have disconnected
them. Can anyone enlighten me as to how they have connected and or might be
doing ? I I have checked setup on this server for relaying and all apears ok
and battened down. The server is apparently behind an ISP Firewall.

Thanks
Simon Bound
