It would probably be better to be more specific in your grep statements.
When I run that on my system it also shows refused connections for when
remoted mail servers refused connections from my box, such as the
following:
Jul 18 07:36:42 localhost postfix/smtp[4949]: connect to
corp.bla-bla.com[216.105.165.74]: Connection refused (port 25)
This would work:
grep "127.0.0.1.*Connection refused" /var/log/mail.log
Just a thought.......
