I ran chkrootki with clean results.

For kicks: I sent a test email to myself from a web mail client. It seems connect from localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1] is outputted under normal circumstances. Thus, it must be something to do with the way in which postfix passed mails along to the antivirus, antispam scaners. I am just not sure how to interpret the Postfix logs. The question remains... how did this spammer use this server as an open relay when its been disallowed in the configuration.
