Good morning, I have installed PMG as virtual machine on proxmox VE. The mail gateway 8.2.0 is a virtual machine installed on provmox ve 8.4.1. On the PMG, in Administration -> Syslog I see:

...

repeatedly.

Is this behavior, always from the same IP, normal? If not, could you help me to create a firewall configuration/rule (better via GUI), only on this node, to block this IP? Thanks.
