Exchange 2007 SMTP errors

With my new Exchange 2007 installed, I now see random messages being returned as undeliverable. On Exchange 2000, these didn't normally occur. I've verified that the email address is correct. The same recipients can receive emails before and after the error occurs.

Here's two error messages to two different recipients.

As it turned out, the recipient's site has a hard limit on email size. But instead of the usual error message of an email too large, the weird error message noted above was the response. Smaller messages go through without any issue. The other site just happened once, probably a glitch.
