You do not have permission to send to this recipient

I have a 2003 SBS implementation where I have only a couple of users using the email system right now. Problem is, when they attempt to forward or reply to email messages, they receive the following error back the first time they try to send the message. This doesn't happen all the time, but it does happen most of the time when they are trying to forward or reply. Weird thing is, once they get this message back, they can then resend the email and it goes through without any problems. Any help would be appreciated.

Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.

The only time I have seen this error is when the recipients AD acounts were disabled.

Clare1975,
Thank you for the reply, but the weird thing about this is that the recipients are external email addresses, not AD reliant. It is as if something is causing my users request to send externally the first time to fail, and when they resend from a failed attempt, the system realizes they can actually send externally.
