In this case, it is not *intended* to do so...

Fair question.
Our error messages *might not* be specific if the nature of our tests turned up
things that classified the source as a probable spammer or 'probe'.
Your specific server had been so classified here 27 September 2006 for sending
to a non-existent address that was clearly intentionally 'constructed', not a
mis-spelling of a valid user.
Software currently in beta test should give different results when rolled-out in
another week or two.
Will advise the R&D server info at that time if you'd like to test.
Meanwhile, I've pulled that entry.
HTH,
Bill
