[Nolug] Messages flooding /var/log/mail.log after I installed postfix, SpamAssassin & Amavisd

Hi,

I'm getting these by the thousand. My postfix is set up for local
delivery, and that's the obvious reason for all of the "Connection
timed out" strings.

My question is: *why* am I getting these in the 1st place? They
do not seem to correspond to timestamps on quarantined spam.

Thanks

An ad run by the NEA (the US's biggest public school TEACHERS 
UNION) in the Spring and Summer of 2003 asks a teenager if he 
can find sodium and *chloride* in the periodic table of the elements.
And they wonder why people think public schools suck...
