I changed it from external to internal and the problem is resolved.
Thanks for your help Martin.

Now the problem I have is some messages (one or two per hour out of
roughly 10 thousand) are now killing MailScanner so I am getting user
complaints about receiving that notification instead of the email
that was sent.  I have disabled TNEF for now until I can figure out
what is wrong with these emails.  I will search the archives for any
ideas and to become more familiar with this new DOS detection
feature.
