This usually happens when a peer has their port set on 25 which is used for email normally. Some users do this to get around port throttling. Unfortunately ZA cant tell the difference between something really sending emails and something using a port used for emails. This is common with ZA although if your concerned do the usual scans. As an opinion I think ZA is inflated software and there are better ways to go...
