I was looking around my mail server logs a little today and I stumbled across this entry:

Code:
Apr 30 15:32:41 [postfix/smtpd] connect from TC218-187-144-152.adsl.pl.apol.com.tw[218.187.144.152]
Apr 30 15:32:42 [postfix/smtpd] 742707C04A: client=TC218-187-144-152.adsl.pl.apol.com.tw[218.187.144.152]
Apr 30 15:32:42 [postfix/smtpd] 742707C04A: reject: RCPT from TC218-187-144-152.adsl.pl.apol.com.tw[218.187.144.152]: 554 <[email protected]>: Relay access d
enied; from=<[email protected]> to=<[email protected]> proto=SMTP helo=<none>
Apr 30 15:32:44 [postfix/smtpd] disconnect from TC218-187-144-152.adsl.pl.apol.com.tw[218.187.144.152]

I have my SMTP server set so that it will deny all connections that don't give a HELO. So would I be correct to assume that this is someone trying to use my SMTP server to maybe send spam? Or maybe it's just someone who's trying to piggyback off my my server. I know that no one has an account using that provider.
