Hi:

I got the following in my log files today. I have not
seen this type of message before.

Aug  6 20:50:15 rabbit sm-mta[4360]: g770n1xO004360: SYSERR(root): collect: I/O error on connection from host-66-133-58-202.verestar.net, from=<josephowotide2@yahoo.com>
Aug  6 20:56:09 rabbit sm-mta[4373]: g770tNxO004373: SYSERR(root): collect: I/O error on connection from host-66-133-58-202.verestar.net, from=<josephowotide2@yahoo.com>
Aug  6 20:57:56 rabbit sm-mta[4377]: g770vaxO004377: SYSERR(root): collect: I/O error on connection from host-66-133-58-202.verestar.net, from=<josephowotide2@yahoo.com>
Aug  6 22:46:18 rabbit sshd[4493]: error: Authentication failure

It looks like a mail transfer error, but I don't understand why the
'error on connection' and 'Authentication failure' error occurred.

Any ideas?

Thanks
