I just stood up a new server running C8 stream, postfix, SA, etc. I keep seeing these log entries in maillog and wonder what to about them. I have not been able to find any research documents detailing if this is a problem nor how to prevent. Any documentation I have seen via web searches talks about configuration issues with spamass-milter. This to me looks like hackers. I get the same four lines over and over again from different IP addresses and the pid/socket/id number (26579 in this instance) are always linked. The number is different for each query/probe.

Other than taking up resources I'm not seeing anything else in the logs to show a problem. Should I be concerned? Research has now shown that Redhat/Centos may have changed the default postfix setting. I do see the following parameter set: smtpd_discard_ehlo_keywords = chunking Sounds like I need to add/set this as 'silent-discard' pseudo keyword to prevent this action from being logged. Thanks in advance on your help and advice! Jay
