Spammy looking names in "recent actions"

[TheNomad11]

When I look at the section "failed tasks" in the django admin menu, I find

Name: blue-connecticut-green-ink
Func: paperless_mail.tasks.process_mail_accounts

Result:

Other error messages with the same content have following names:

delta-magazine-helium-victor

The names look like spam mail subjects, but there is no spam in this mailbox I use for paperless.
Fetching documents from this mailbox works fine, generally.

So now I wonder what is going on here?

I installed Paperless on a VPS. ssh access is only allowed from a few selected ip addresses

The error actually indicates that there's an issue with the hostname of your IMAP server, and that paperless is unable to connect. Maybe a typo, maybe some invalid characters. I highly doubt that this mail account works fine in paperless.

These names are auto-generated by paperless for unnamed tasks and nothing to worry about.
