This is most often the case when a remote client sends the SMTP QUIT
command, but then immediately disconnects without waiting for the
session to complete. qmail, postfix and exim all do that, as a way to
shave off a few milliseconds of each outbound SMTP connection, since
the QUIT doesn't really serve any useful purpose. Courier gets upset
about this premature termination, and complains by logging the event.
Nothing to worry about.
