Something would be logged. Whether it's seen in a grep of the logs is another thing altogether. This session [laptoy] /usr/home/ianf $ telnet localhost 25 Trying ::1... Trying 127.0.0.1...

Produces the following log: 2006-11-22 14:52:32 SMTP connection from localhost [127.0.0.1] lost while reading message data Which might or might not have been seen the OP. He didn't really say what was in the logs. He didn't say whether it was to or from the server in question. It could have been another process. There might be mails in the queue that are timing out during data to the remote end. It could have been anything. I guess I'm just a bit jaded from having worked on this particular problem for too many years. Quality debugging will reveal all.
