anyone know what this is? too many recipients this hour?

This is caused by rate limiting at receiving end; as per their policy you're only allowed to send them x-messages per hour.

To follow up on Poesjkin's message, that error text is exactly what an IronPort ESA will give when it applies rate limiting. If the receiving MTA is indeed an IronPort ESA, then that drastically narrows the likely reasons for the rate limiting. The most likely reason is that your sending ESA has an IP address with a poor SenderBase reputation, or has no reputation at all. Another good possibility is that that IP address fails the address->name->address double-lookup DNS verification. Try investigating those and see what you come up with.

To add to previous comments, the smtp code,
'452', ['Too many recipients received this hour']
is basically telling the sending MTA to come back later because they've exceeded the limits with respect to their sendergroup/mail flow policy (Mail Policies > HAT Overview).

I have this same problem, but the thing is that i configured ironport to accept incoming relay from a mx server.
I thought that this rate limitis configuration shouldn't apply...
