Connection from a DLP Email Prevent Server to the MTA is lost.

The MTA closed the connection due to a timeout.

To determine if the lost connection is due to a timeout message, check the logs on the Email Prevent server to see if a timeout message exists.  A message similar to the one below appears in the RequestProcessor0.log when trying to process messages:

Jun 6, 2008 3:09:33 PM com.vontu.mta.rp.RequestProcessorThread
handleMTAException
WARNING: Lost connection to the MTA. A likely cause is that the MTA
closed the connection due to timeout.

In instances where a message similar to this one exists, check the log for errors relating to an invalid character in a username, e.g., % or other symbol. Then check the configuration of the MTA device to see if there are any rules, etc. related to the invalid character.
