Although I don't use postfix, I would assume that the second cited
event, the connection from 'unknown', is completely separate from the
first event. (Hours apart, and for an separate mail function.) With
regards to unknown [127.0.0.1], is there a reason you don't believe the
log file on face value? I mean...it says the connection was from
127.0.0.1 (not sure why it says "unknown" -- don't you have 127.0.0.1
resolving to 'localhost'?).
