Yes, if Eudora was trying to check for mail, and the connection failed, then
SpamBayes would log that error.  If there were a lot of fails, then there
would be a lot of logged errors.

I presume that if you could fix this, you would (it's the real problem).
The error should only get generated once for each time Eudora tries to check
for new mail (if that isn't the case, I would be interested in knowing).  So
if you set Eudora to only check for mail every (eg) 15 minutes, you'd only
get the error reported 4 times an hour, which wouldn't result in a very big
log.
