This would be a *lot* easier to diagnose if you gave us the entire RCPT TO: from the previous packet (or whatever the packet was). and the *entire* text of the 451 error. With any luck, the connection did *not* negotiate SMTP Pipeiining (which is easily noticable because you'll see multiple RCPT TO headers in one packet). If it did, we'll need the entire trace up to the point of the 451 so we can match the commands and responses up....
