There is chances of attack/spam through your Koha server, however gmail always block such automated emails after some time as per my observation.

I Checked and it is showing too many login attempts in log that’s why google server has blocked emails from this account. In Gmail account, it is showing too many random emails on invalid accounts. But I haven’t sent these through Koha or anything. Is it possible that koha sent these emails automatically??
