Yes, this is a reasonable response. In fact, in FIX.4.3 they introduced =
an
additional BusinessRejectReason (7=3DDeliver to firm not available at =
this
time) for this specific purpose. Some hubs also support a "store and
forward" approach for certain messages (something you would generally =
agree
with the hub when setting things up), but for an order I would say a =
reject
is more appropriate.

it referring to? =A0Is there a field missing in the message from the =
hub?=20

This is caused when you attempt to get a field not present in the =
message.
Are you using isSetField() to check if a field if present before =
attempting
to retrieve it with getField()?

> 3. =A0Can I switch of validation for just this message type? =A0Is =
there a
better way to manage this problem?=20

No, I think this is being caused by a FieldNotFound exception and I =
think
the only way to avoid this is to check that a field exists before =
attempting
to retrieve it from the message.

Hope this helps.
