could someone help me decipher this please.
Looking at part 2 of the log file, I guess someone was trying to connect to the server using info, as thier login credentials, which doesn't exists so hence the failure.

But i'm struggling to understand this first part.
Code:
2017-10-19 22:01:52 SMTP connection from [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]:5143 (TCP/IP connection count = 1)
2017-10-19 22:01:52 SMTP connection from xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx.static.asianet.co.th [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]:5143 lost
2017-10-19 22:01:53 SMTP connection from [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]:5262 (TCP/IP connection count = 1)
