Does This Look Right?

Looks like it's doing what it's supposed to, but just checking...

You can use fail2ban and enable postfix-sasl filter, then those IP will 
be banned after few knocks.

Oh I didn't miss to explain it.  I just am not interested in a bickering contest with a fascist.

I know that there's expertise in spam here and I suspected that this is what my log entries are about.  Now confirmed by a human being.

That is what I was hoping is going on.  I have never done this before, so wanted to check to make sure.

In my case I don't have control over my PTR record though, as my mail servers are on a hosted OpenStack instance.  I do though have DNSSEC, DKIM, and DNAE working for my mail servers.  I hope those help.

What do you think it's supposed to be happening below?  Those are just 
normal hacking attempts from China to do SMTP authentication to try to 
abuse your server by sending spam through it.

The warnings are normal when Postfix can't look up a matching A record 
from the PTR record content -- FCrDNS.  This will cause the "unknown" in 
the Received header and SA rule hit on RDNS_NONE if the connection makes 
it far enough.
