Something that I see now is that it only happens with the delivery receipt.

It just means that the smart host you're using doesn't offer to send
DSNs. There's not much you can do about it except to stop using that
smart host and staet sending the e-mail directly to the target
domains.

HI Rich, thanks for replying. I am forwarding all outgoing mail to smtp.saix.net under the smtp connector. It always worked until last week. What do I need and what must I change to send it directly?

Have a look at what that server sends back when your server says EHLO.
Do you see a "250-DSN"" in the list of accepted keywords? If ou don't
then you can't do anything because they simply don't accept your
request for a DSN.

HI Rich, it has to be something on my exchange server. I have another e-mail address
that also have delivery receipt enable and gives me the same error message and
when we send mail it immediately sends relay error message back.
How can I see the EHLO that the server?

It's not an error, only a notification that a server somewhere between
your machine and the destination server doesn't send DSNs.

Have a look at the SMTP Send protocol log.

You need to log more data columns in that log. The minimum (default)
settings aren't very helpful.
If 196.43.2.142 is the IP address of the server you're sending the
e-mail to then it does support the sending of DSNs. However, there's
no guarantee that some other server (possible the target domain if
196.43.2.142 is a smart host) also supports that.
Here's what the 196.43.2.142 server offeres in response to EHLO:
220 wblv-ip-mesg-2-4.saix.net ESMTP Postfix
ehlo XXX.com
250-wblv-ip-mesg-2-4.saix.net
250-PIPELINING
250-SIZE 102400000
250-ETRN
250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES
250-8BITMIME
250 DSN
quit
221 2.0.0 Bye
