I've to correct that statement, albeit the 'guess' seems logical it can't
be correct in this case, because:

If he'd be using / contacting a mail server that does not allow relaying from
his IP address he'd not even be able to send the mail but get an error
message visible in The Bat!.
If the SMTP-server he's connecting to denies the relay it would not even
take his mail and send an error back, but drop the connection.

This 'back coming' error messages are from third party mail server invoked
in the delivery of the message.
These servers drop the connection too, so the server trying to feed the
mail over there is forced to inform the sender about this failure. This
informational mail is the one Dave got.
