Something is trying to send mail, and by default ssmtp (simple smtp) does this by trying to connect to "mail" (through DNS resolution) on port 25 (defined in /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf as 'mailhub')

 

From version 11.5.0 and later, this file is not directly editable, and must be modified using tmsh commands.

 

Refer to SOL13180 for information about how to configure that.

 

If that doesn't solve or explain your problem, I recommend opening a support ticket so that F5 can take a look at your configuration.
