I'm getting the following message in the qmail log:
Aug 10 09:02:52 ip-97-74-74-128 /var/qmail/bin/relaylock[28290]: /var/qmail/bin/relaylock: mail from 209.94.128.49:42157 (aaaaaa.bbbb.edu)

Aug 10 09:02:53 ip-97-74-74-128 qmail-queue-handlers[28298]: Unable to get 'From:' string from SMTP session
I found one other post with this problem from 2010, but it was apparently never resolved (not sure how to point to it - thread started by technema on 1/13/10).
The first time this happened, I assumed it was an attack (the sending domain was not one I expected mail from) so I implemented IPTABLES to block that domain. The problem went away. This time, however, the domain is one I might receive mail from, so I don't want to do that. It looks (as it did last time) like the same incoming message is being examined over and over. Might that be the case? If so, how do I get rid of that message?
I have no clue where inbound mail messages live. (As you can tell, I'm not a qmail expert). All the references I have seen about queue management refer to the outbound queue, so the command:
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-qstat
shows nothing.
