And we were soo hoping MS was getting better at handling SMTP errors, not

Anychance vista is not liking the long error message ?

Probably won't help much, but just as a test, I'd personally try a really
simple "deny everything" statement right at start of the DATA ACL:

deny
hosts = my-vista-pc
message = test block
log_message = whatever

or if (as I think you said) the sending host is not identifyable then
something like:

deny
senders = me(test)email
message = test block
log_message = whatever

etc etc
