550 5.7.1 error with trusted domain

I have two branch office VPN connections, one to Atlanta and one to Italy. We are all on Windows Platforms as well as hosting our own Exchange Servers. I have setup a domain trust with Atlnta and all is fine. Secondary zones in each DNS server, two-way trust .... can send AND recieve mail no problem. My connection to Italy is identical, BUT if I add a zone for their domain in my DNS, I can no longer send mail to them.
You do not have permission to send to this recipient. For assistance, contact your system administrator.

They are able to add a zone in their DNS for my domain and send mail no problem. Our configurations are identical in DNS and Exchange. What else am I missing?

Just to be clear ... I can send and recieve to Italy no problem if I remove the DNS zone from my server.

Each location is its own domain. We each only have one Exchange Server, one org, one domain ... etc
and then for Italy the internal FQDN for domain has the same name as the external name?
yes ... everything for Italy is just as Atlanta. Atlanta works though and Italy does not.
dou you have an MX record for Italy and an A record with the same name?
yes
then look if your Exchnage server in Italy is listening on all interfaces.

how would that affect my situation? Whether or not I have their information in my DNS, the mail exchange is SMTP. There is only one NIC in each of these servers and there is only one Virtual SMTP server setup on each Exchange box.
"My connection to Italy is identical, BUT if I add a zone for their domain in my DNS, I can no longer send mail to them. "

after you add your dns server, can you also do the following?

goto system manager/servers/<servername>/protocols/smtp
right click on default smtp virtual server and click properties

goto delivery tab
click advanced then click configure

can you put in 2 external dns servers (which your dns use) and see whether it works?
you might need to restart your smtp services to try it out

do you mean external dns as in Itay's DNS or my ISP's DNS ? Italy can send me mail no problem after adding my zone to their DNS and they have no external DNS configured in Exchange. I guess the most confusing part of this is that all three systems (my location , Atlanta and Iatly) are setup the same and I have no problems with Atlanta. It does not make sense ... I will give your suggestion a try and let you know. Thanks!

Sorry ... it's been one heck of a day.

In the message tracking, it shows it stopping on my side.

SMTP : Routed and Queued for Remote Delivery
SMTP : Started outbound transfer of message
SMTP : Non-Delivered Report Generated (NDR)
have you try my method?
i think the mx record was not right and it send internally instead of externally ..
Bang on ... I cannot believe I let this boggle my brain! Thank you!
