Hi @Umirzak,

Are you expecting outbound traffic from the mail server to those IPs? If not, you can block it using firewall policy.

Is all the sessions are destined to IP in Indonesia ? If so, we can create an address entry for Indonesia and block all these connections till we find the root cause.
