Postfix: improper command pipelining after EHLO from unknown

Posted on October 14, 2014

I am attempting to access my email via Thunderbird and I get the following in /var/log/mail.log

Oct 14 13:27:22 baal postfix/submission/smtpd[15559]: warning: hostname cuda1.p2pa.com does not resolve to address 69.24.39.162
Oct 14 13:27:22 baal postfix/submission/smtpd[15559]: connect from unknown[69.24.39.162]
Oct 14 13:27:22 baal postfix/submission/smtpd[15559]: improper command pipelining after EHLO from unknown[69.24.39.162]: QUIT\r\n
Oct 14 13:27:22 baal postfix/submission/smtpd[15559]: disconnect from unknown[69.24.39.162]

What is causing this?

Additionally I am also getting the following from Dovecot when it starts in /var/log/mail.err

Oct 14 12:05:35 baal dovecot: auth: Error: read(anvil-auth-penalty) failed: EOF
Oct 14 12:05:35 baal dovecot: auth: Error: net_connect_unix(anvil-auth-penalty) failed: Permission denied
