as you can read the engine failed to deliver the message you might want to check the following
1-disable GFI might be the cause of the problem for this user
2-check the while list in GFI
3-check what the contents of the mail might have sex or spam and that is the reason it is not being delivered
4-remove the user and create a new one
I see the message you tracked did in fact have SPAM in the subject line. This problem can be caused by GFI. Disabling GFI and testing should be tried as mentioned by amriotus and exchgen above.

Have you double checked the users external smtp address to make sure it is correct? Also have you tried message tracking in exchange to see if it was delivered to the mailbox?
