I have tried this experiment, and the mail was NOT sent. So I wonder
what is different? I just got these log lines:

2007-08-17 15:07:18 [5269] SMTP connection from [127.0.0.1]:38311 (TCP/IP connection count = 1)
2007-08-17 15:07:37 [25450] SMTP connection from localhost [127.0.0.1]:38311 lost while reading message data (after header)
