It looks like the message was truncated in the kernel message buffer
(its a circular buffer and truncates based on characters, not lines).  
You can probably get a more complete version of the message from
/var/log/messages (assuming a default syslog.conf setup).

I've never seen a situation that dumped e-mail headers into syslog,
but that does not necessarily indicate a serious problem.  There isn't
much that could be figured out from the little snippet enclosed here.
