SBS2003 - SMTP Error 450 - Try again later (but only on 1 customer)

Hi.  I support multiple customers.  They have an employee that uses att.net for his e-mail at home.  E-Mails sent to him are delayed at least 5 hours, and sometimes never leave the queue.  The strange thing is that I do not have this problem sending to him from another customer sbs2003 machine.

here is the smtp log info:

If I telnet gateway.att.net 25 using customer #1 sbs2003 machine, I get 450 - busy please try later

Same command from another customer, and they get the connection.

Emails from comcast and yahoo zip straight to the guy's e-mail address, and dnsstuff.com has a new e-mail tester that passes.

I am not using a smarthost on either machine, DNS straight through.

I have checked my DNS to verify all machines on network (including server) point to the SBS2003 server for DNS and that SBS2003 is forwarding to 2 DNS servers, which have the up to date info on the gateway2.att.net and gateway1.att.net

HELP!
