Mike: the domain is MY domain. This has happened while sending to multiple external domains [possible 5 or 6] (two of which perform zero filtering). The funny thing is that when employee #1 was sending to external_Recipient_XYZ and getting it bounced, Employee #2 was able to successfully send to external-Recipient_XYZ. Then several hours later employee #1 can successfully send mail to the same recipient again.
