Neil Rickert <rickert@cs.niu.edu> says:
This can sometimes happen during an SMTP connection. If the
remote mail agent closes its socket prematurely, the write to the
socket at the local end will fail.
Since the mail is requeued for retry, it should not normally be
a source of concern. It this happens often for one destination,
then perhaps that destination has a networking problem. If it
happens often for many destinations, then possibly you have a
networking problem.

putbody is the subroutine in sendmail that writes a message body
to a mailbox. I would guess the error is a full disk or no write
permission on the mailbox.
