    An external server is attempting to send email to my client. I have all my
    logs set to 'debug' level. In the smtpserver log, I see a connection entry
    from that server every 5-8 minutes for many hours.
    My question is how to see what is happening on my end after that connection
    entry in the log. There are a bunch of log entries between each of these
    attempts. But I really can't tell which entries are part of this connection
    attempt vs. other unrelated connections.
    Is there any useful info in this log snippit below that can help determine
    why this server can't connect? (or should I be looking in some other log?)
    Log: (note leanderisd.org is the domain that can't seem to connect)
