Jon - I'm not running any cisco stuff and my firewall does allow smtp through -- It doesn't happen all the time, which is the frustrating part.

Are you running a Cisco Firewall and passing your SMTP into your server via that? If so, you may need to tell it to leave your SMTP alone! In this case, the firewall cuts off the smtp connection before it can complete... More like though - this may be an indication of spam testing from remote mail sites. I think this type of message is indicative of a type of Spam testing that some folks run. A mail server in the act of receiving email from your domain opens a smtp connection with your server just to make sure that the domain etc are live and correct. It just opens the connection (to verify it), then it drops the connection (no nice goodbye or sign off). If your server didn't answer then the receiving mail server would reject that inbound mail as spam.
