EHLO - Command Unrecognzied

I'm having issues with certain domains getting stuck in the queue.  Most are navy.mil, yahoo, and a few others. We are running Exchange 2003 on WIn 2003 Box.
SMTP LOG:
2009-02-18 17:34:20 132.250.1.14 OutboundConnectionCommand SMTPSVC1 EXCH2 - 25 EHLO - mail.help.org 0 0 4 0 2172 SMTP - - - -

Not sure what started this.  Problem came up last Friday and can't think of any changes accept maybe antivirus.  Need help to resolve......DNS seems fine plus not getting any other errors in SMTP log but the EHLO Command unrecognized.  Even the smptdiag test I get server does not support EHLO but connects successfully to mail server.  So not sure what changed or what I need to change on my part to allow mail to flow.  Any help would be appreciated.

What is between the server and the internet?
A firewall of some kind?

yes we have a cisco 2128.  I'm thinking it's the antivirus.  I stopped the services on the anti-virus and all mail failed so I have a support call into kaspersky to get it off my server.  I'll wait to hear from them unless you think it could be something else.
