Bizarre traffic on X700

I noticed that our clients domain showed up on two blacklists today. I checked out the traffic monitor on their X700 and I'm seeing a lot of bizarre traffic. This is what I see: firewalld[127]: allow in eth0 tcp 20 port 25 as destination syn Filtered SMTP as rule. So I guess I'm translating this as their firewall is allowing in traffic on PORT 20 from random IP address on the outside world to port 25 on our clients public IP. Is someone getting bombed with spam on our clients network? If our clients started showing up on blacklists, I would think that the source IP would be someone on the inside and the direction would be out instead of in?? Please help. I have a feeling something very bad is going on here.
