I've seen this before with a particularly large bank. I think what is
happening is the sending server is opening a connection to you but is so
busy that it doesn't send any information and then eventually drops (or you
drop) the connection.
Check further down in the /var/log/maillog and see if the same machine
eventually does send a message to you
