Indeed not. A server is *supposed* to close the connection after
receiving QUIT.
Looks to me as if it is Agent that is broken. Or possibly the TCP/IP
stack on which it is running. What Exim actually does on receiving QUIT
is to send
221 <hostname> closing connection
and then closes the connection. If Agent is waiting for that response to
arrive, but the local TCP/IP stack is throwing it away because of the
following connection drop, ... but I am speculating wildly here.
