MSExchangeTransport error 7010

[edgardg]

I just enabled debuggin level login with the value of 7 and I'm getting lots of these:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: MSExchangeTransport
Event Category: SMTP Protocol
Event ID: 7010
Date: 5/1/2007
Time: 11:43:17 AM
User: N/A
Computer: server01
Description:
This is an SMTP protocol log for virtual server ID 1, connection #85. The client at "64.20.227.132" sent a "rcpt" command, and the SMTP server responded with "550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for test@mxtoolbox.com ". The full command sent was "rcpt TO: <test@mxtoolbox.com>". This will probably cause the connection to fail.

question:
if I go back and turn the event to 0, would I be ignoring a problem?

what do I do when I see these IP's, report them?

is there any way to stop from getting this?

thank you so much

well, it says: "The client at "64.20.227.132" sent a "rcpt"
isn't this somebody tryng to relay on my server?
in other words, isnt this spam?

that's why I post the question, to see what this is.

thanks

No. They sent the rcpt command. Nothing more, nothing less. I think you're reading more into than you need to.

rcpt is part of normal SMTP communications.
