Thanks Del, this is the route that we were looking at.

What is weird though is that we see several off these in a row if
several messages are in the queue.

However, on tests I sent over 100,000 emails through with no issues
(well, other than a huge increase in queues on our internal email
infrastructure).

In addition I left my hotmail address in when running the initial test
and flooded that mailbox as well as getting 14,900+ bounce messages due
to the mailbox being full.

Hi Suneel,

Regarding your log snippet, I've seen this behavior before with a
specific client application sending to our server.  Our issue still
remains unresolved although I believe it to be a bug in the sending
application.

However, the following info may help with your troubleshooting.  I
recommend watching the SMTP exchange with a packet sniffer.  Even if
some data comes through after the DATA command, if the TCP connection
terminates before receiving the <CRLF>.<CRLF>, modusmail will record a
log exactly like your snippet.  

In our case, the captured TCP packets showed the sending client would
actually send about 2KB (attachments) after the DATA command but would
terminate the TCP connection prior to sending _all_ of the data
including the <CRLF>.<CRLF>.

In your case, I wouldn't dismiss seemingly unrelated causes such as a
problematic NIC or overloaded NAT firewall or something.

Hope this helps,
- Del
