Same for me on one of my servers:
2007-08-17 16:30:56 [28275] SMTP connection from yoda.ttosi.net
[212.68.213.60]:33030 I=[88.198.156.90]:25 lost while reading message
data (header)

And if I type a \n before hitting ^C:
2007-08-17 16:32:55 [26387] SMTP connection from yoda.ttosi.net
[212.68.213.60]:21862 I=[88.198.156.90]:25 lost while reading message data

No message was sent
