Just a heads up to the 44 Group who run 44 addressed mail servers.
Over the last few days I've had someone trying to break into my mail server.
After installing more detection software, I came up with IP Address
178.33.151.117.
Just a heads up he's probably scanning the network looking for others, so
heads up everyone.
