Yes. The RFC-specified SMTP extensions for provision of options like
8BITMIME and SIZE keywords apparently are not being handled properly
by your new SMTP server. Evidently, whatever NT subsystem handles
mail transference to your SMTP server is arguing over those
extensions.
But the "smtpmail" lib, which you are using, contains no use of the
extensions that I can see (looking at XEmacs' copy, anyway). Perhaps
your SMTP server is reporting its argument over these extensions with
the next hop, contacted directly while your connection to your SMTP
server is still open. Either way, your new SMTP server is the weak
link in the chain now.
