are those the only lines they sent you? Weirdly, we got a report like this today as well with the first (out of 8) sample line showing the exact time stamp (23/Feb/2015:14:53:37 +0100) and the exact query string (/?cmd=info&key=f8184c819717b6815a8b8037e91c59ef&ip=212.97.34.7) which makes it a bit strange to be a coincidence. There is a webserver running in a jail on the reported IP address, but I can't find any log lines on our side that could be related.
We asked the email.it folks for details, but haven't heard back from them yet.
