Sender's messages getting bounced back

Sender: joe@xyz.com
Recipient: sam@abc.com

abc.com is one our clients and intermittently users are unable to send them a message. abc.com is running Exchange in house.
Example.
Everytime joe@xyz.com tryies to send a message to sam@abc.om joe gets the following bounce back.
-- The original message was received at Wed, 12 Sep 2007 12:38:10 -400 (EDT)
-- From intinamsmtp20.nam.pwcinternal.com (10.26.104.87)
--
-- --The following addresses had permanent fatal errors
-- <sam@abc.om>
--
--- -Transcript of session follows
-- 451 4.3.5 Error getting LDAP results in map ldapmra: Cant contact LDAP server
-- <sam@abc.om> &Deferred: Name server: abc.om.: host name lookup failure
-- Message could not be delivered for 1 day
-- Message will be deleted from queue

The thing is... nobody else at xyz.com has a problem sending to sam@abc.com.  Only joe@xyz.com
This is happening intermittently with a couple people at different companies.

Any ideas would be great.

Do you or the abc.com run any spam filtering sollution that uses LDAP to identify valid e-mail accounts ?
Might be the SMTP relay server or the spam filter trying to do a LDAP lookup on the SAM@abc.com user and it fails to get a valid result.
What e-mail server is xyz.com running ?

abc.com does not run any spam filtering at the moment.  We will be moving them to a solution shortly but as of now... no.
ZYX.com is actually PriceWaterhouse Coopers.  I am not sure what they are running for email servers but I would image it is an enterprise solution.  Exchange most likely.
Do you have any recipient filtering enabled on the Exchange ?

Why then are other users from xyz.com able to send mail to abc.com but this one particular user can not not?
