That is an error response from your SMTP smarthost.
Turn on MercC session logging for a bit more detail, it seems to think there are syntax errors in the mails you are sending out.
I suspect your From address: WASH test <michaelbrown......
Should have quotes around the description field at least. The core log should only show the real address <michaelbrown@whatever>.
