No, because then Exim would log the timeout. Exim logged that the
connection was dropped. Which means that something outside of Exim
closed the connection.
Perhaps a firewall, or a NAT box dropping a connection, or the client
timing out. How long is it after Exim gets the end of the data before
the connection is dropped? Is Exim not responding immediately?
