Default "A configuration error in the e-mail system..."

We seem to have a problem when one of our users recieve messages from
one specific remote sender. The messages are delivered all the way to
the back-end server, but there a NDR is created:

"A configuration error in the e-mail system caused the message to
bounce between two servers or to be forwarded between two recipients.
Contact your administrator."


This sounds like a message a sender would receive, not a recipient. It's
the result of two mail routers thinking that each is the forwarder for
itself; i.e., router A thinks that in order to reach the recipient, router B
must handle the message and router B thinks that A should handle the
message.

Who sent the original messge that elicited this NDR and who received the
NDR?

Sorry for my indistinct description. The NDR is, off course, sent back
to the original sender.
