If we could see your DATA ACL, it would make things easier. Also, a little
information on your setup would help. Is this server relaying mail for
internal machines, is it local mail, etc.

I have an ACL early on in the data phase that says

accept hosts = +relay_from hosts

so that I don't virus scan or spam scan outgoing e-mail coming from my
internal Exchange server. If you're talking about locally submitted mail,
you can use a similar line (accept hosts = @).
