Looks pretty normal to me, but then I send all mail logs to one file, so there is more chatter in there (you have this spread around the other mail logs).
I have no idea why the freeze - shouldn't happen. Perhaps something locked up while trying to write to syslog when you restarted it (but that shouldn't happen either). Hopefully is doesn't happen again, but see if you can find anything in your logs.
