We have a EXCH 2k SP2 running on W2k SP3, there a number
of times during after bussiness hours where unknown users
are connected on our SMTP Virtual server.

When i checked the ESM under the SMTP protocol i see
current connections.
Is there a security issue to have this type conections?,
is there a way to eliminate this type of connections?

Any comments are appreciated
