Two things:
1. Welcome to the Internet - just because providing rev-lookups is the
"friendly" thing to do doesn't mean you should expect it.
2. Welcome to the Internet - if you run a mail server, you'll be the recipient
of mail from places you never knew existed.

Subject: [isalist] Question
Is it common practice now to spam every IP on the internet with email without
having a destination to resolve?
I setup ISA 2004 Server on a static IP that AutoSoldNow has never used before
to run any of their servers, today I turned on the default monitoring and
noticed at first an ebay mail server trying to coming in on port 25 which I
thought was odd. So I tried doing reserve lookups on the IP (67.69.15.20) and
found nothing on the internet.
Later I noticed a lot more port 25 SMTP activity with other mail servers from
.at (were ever that is) and other places around the world trying come in.
Is this normal nowadays?
Andrew
