Below is a normal looking postfix SMTP connection for incoming mail (mine has amavisd; you may not see some of these lines). Notice that the qmgr line does not appear until after a few smtpd lines. You say you grepped /var/log/maillog. How about cracking that sucker open and seeing what other log entires are there? It seems like you'd have to have a "connect from" entry a few lines before the one you found. If you have the luxury, the surest way to troubleshoot SMTP issues is with telnet. If you can prove that it is possible to send an email in this way from the client's location, then the problem is with the client's MUA. (If your postfix requires TLS, you will have to generate a STARTTLS string; you can do this with a perl one-liner.) For instance, I've seen where the Mac-bundled MUA doesn't deal with TLS worth a crap, at least when a self-signed cert is involved. This results in the connection being dropped (or hanging?) before the point where STARTTLS is normally issued. Just for fun, type "mailq" just to see if the email is sitting in you local queue. This is highly unlikely, but what the heck. Couldn't hurt to make sure that the IP address of the client isn't in /etc/hosts.deny. Perhaps you're running denyhosts, and they tried to hack you in the past.
