This means that your BGP peer received from you more prefixes that
it is allowed to accept. You probably don't want to export
anything (add 'export none;' to your BGP config) or just export
configured static routes (add 'export where source = RTS_STATIC;'
to your BGP config).

Generally, messages from BGP prepended with 'Received: ' are notification
messages from a BGP peer.

Because other routing table is empty and therefore nothing is exported
to the peer.
