remote host "128.121.4.11", responded to the SMTP command "rcpt" with 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay
We are having an issue sending mail to the domain castigliaeaton.com. Most of the time the mail goes through without issue. Occasionally, an NDR is generated and the mail doesn't go through. The error below corresponds the the time of the NDR.
One odd thing I noticed while researching the issue is that the address 128.121.4.11 is NOT there mail server. The MX record for castigliaeaton.com points to 128.121.4.6. I have verified this with there provider however they were not able to provide any assistance beyond that.
I thought it could be some kind of DNS issue so I changed our DNS forwarders over to 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2 temporarily while troubleshooting with Microsoft.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

So i would also think that this is a DNS problem on the recipients provider side. Unfortunately I think that there is not much to do for you.
