Yes, that means that a spammer from screensaver4u.com attempted (but failed) 143 times to relay spam through your server. The reports do this automatically... If you have your access file in /etc/mail set accordingly to only allow RELAYing from trusted sites (internal), then anything that isn't allowed to relay through you, will be in the reports the next day.
