SSH into the server and tail your maillog file in /var/log and see wahts going on yourself.

This command may differ as i have no idea what email program is running as some control panels will change the email logging.

tail -f /var/log/maillog
tail -f /var/log/exim_mainlog

Hard to say which your using.

Using DirectAdmin Control Panel.

I am very new at this.

Can you please elaborate on where I should be adding or searching that code.

Should be done in the Admin Section or the Account section, I have acces to both.

It should be done via SSH

Its not code, its a command.

Download Putty, login, and than use those commands.

It sounds like your email setup is not secured properly.

Well, the log does contain what appears to be a valid login by tech07, but it does show that he has major login abuse on that server via what appears to be a script kiddie attacking the server to login.

It's really hard to say from just that little of the log, but to really see whats going on, it would require logging in and seeing what all is going on, i'd first start by securing the server with a firewall & start blacklisting those invalid login ip's.
