I've installed Snort on my Debian desktop (as recommended on the Debian security advice page) but am not sure how to interpret the emails it is sending through. Here's a typical morning email - does this look like anything to worry about? (I'm already running the Firestarter firewall which gets a "Stealth" rating from the ShieldsUp test.)

(NB I've partly obscured my own IP address.)
