I have a Zimbra Mail Server setup, and have noticed quite a few connection attempts on port 25 which are rejected because the reverse lookup fails. Here is an example output:

I have looked on the Zimbra Forum, and even posted there, bit no-one seems to know if I should be worried. The posts on this forum reassure me that I should not.
Should I go to the trouble of blocking these IPs either on my router or using the iptables on my firewall, or just ignore them. Sometimes these 'Scans' occur every few seconds or minutes.
