You [optionally] report this error to me and classify this as likely bad 
email due to policy. The reason for having it is to avoid cases of one of 
my users improperly "relaying" through my system when they should not
have access to it or should not be using it that way (operationally this
should be stopped on my end but I can assure you that its not going to
always be so either by misconfiguration or due to unknown exploits).
