I turned on the logging and got this error message:

Source: MSExchnageTransport
Category: SMTP Protocol
Event ID: 7010

This is an SMTP protocol log for virtual server ID 1, connection #4. The
client at "206.190.37.141" sent a "rcpt" command, and the SMTP server
responded with "550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for david_li@caslservice.org ".
The full command sent was "rcpt TO:<david_li@caslservice.org>". This will
probably cause the connection to fail.
