I bet it's a Postfix box. I also did a search on the exact text
you show and found it in the source on our server. Postfix defaults to a
450 to prevent rejecting messages if the recipient tables were not
set up properly. That way messages would get deferred instead of
rejected. They would need to add:

unknown_address_reject_code = 550

in Postfix's configuration file.
