The following recipient(s) could not be reached:

            The e-mail system was unable to deliver the message, but did not report a specific reason. Check the address and try again. If it still fails, contact your system administrator.

            <MAIL.mycompany.com #5.0.0 smtp;550 5.0.0 E-mail rejected from direct connections from dsl.cnc.net clients - use your ISP SMTP server>

If i check the event log (Application Log) on the exchange server , there is no log related to the above NDR

Also , when i track the Email through ExcahngeSystem Manager ---> Message Traccking Center ----->
