I think this is a symptom of a bug in qmail that I've encountered
before.
When qmail is doing outbound SMTP it will issue a DATA command for a
message even if it hasn't had any successful RCPTs.
Even worse, it seems that sometimes when the receiving MTA says "5xx
don't be bloody stupid" qmail acts as if it had got "go ahead" and
sends the message text anyway. Each line gets interpreted as a
separate SMTP command !
