If the client sends "QUIT", either before "DATA", or after a rejected
"DATA" command (no recipients), then Postfix quietly moves on, all the
interesting log entries are already there (rejecting recipients, ...).

If smtpd(8) logs a queue-id, but there are no further entries for that
queue-id, either you have chroot-jail logging problems, or the client
abandoned the transaction. The latter is not particularly unusual.
