Forwarder %s - premature response to mail body (%d%d %d.%d.%d %s)

Description

Named forwarder has sent a response prior to the final dot of the mail was sent by the proxy. This behavior is correct as a security arrangement against unwanted mails.

Sending a copy of mail fails, channel is closed. Whether the proxy will try another server next time or not, depends on the response severity - servers are rotated only in case of a transient error (4xx message).
