It means that the receiving SMTP server dropped the TCP/IP connection
after the client sending SMTP had sent the SMTP command
MAIL FROM: <chad@???
If the receiver is Exim, this is some kind of problem, because it
shouldn't drop the connection. However, there are plenty of things in
between that might be involved (routers, etc.) Maybe some kind of
timeout is involved. One possible cause is that the server will (unless
you disable it) attempt to do an RFC 1413 call-back to the sender.
Sometimes these time out.
