XXXX is not a valid SMTP/ESMTP command.

Are you using a Pix?

I believe that will show up in an SMTP (ie, not ESMTP) session
where the SIZE attribute is neither specified nor read from the ESMTP
response.

Ie, "send a file larger than the max size and don't bother telling
the receiver 'oh, yeah, here comes a 20M file' first."

The ESMTP response (which would be seen if the XXXX was EHLO) tells the
maximum message size, and ESMTP also allows for a SIZE= parameter on
the MAIL FROM: as a sort of 'warning' to the receiver as well.

Google -does- usually use ESMTP, so it really looks like you have a
Pix running SMTP Fixup, which doesn't fix anything at all.
