Not necessarily. If the client uses HELO and sends more data than the server is 
willing to accept, then the server does reject the message and logs it as such:

Oct 19 11:54:46 mail postfix/smtpd[17590]: warning: DEAAF47EE39: queue file 
size limit exceeded

If the client uses EHLO and the server response includes a SIZE statement, the 
client will often disconnect without issuing a command because it knows the 
message is undeliverable. In this case, the server has no information to log 
about why this happened.
