Ie, "send a file larger than the max size and don't bother telling the receiver 'oh, yeah, here comes a 20M file' first." The ESMTP response (which would be seen if the XXXX was EHLO) tells the maximum message size, and ESMTP also allows for a SIZE= parameter on the MAIL FROM: as a sort of 'warning' to the receiver as well. Google -does- usually use ESMTP, so it really looks like you have a Pix running SMTP Fixup, which doesn't fix anything at all.
