Hello,

From time to time I get emails reporting that some IP address was blocked for port scanning. That's very good but sometimes I discover that blocked IP address belong to a user of my website and I am sure this user do not scan ports of my server. Is it possible that some computers run port scans without knowledge of the owners?

Yes, it is possible.

Mostly when they are configuring iphone/ipad/mac email accounts.
