ok what is the question ??
If you ask what does it mean: It measn taht you're trying to send a mail to someone but there's no person with that name exists at the receiving end.
But if you are sure that you did not send such a message then it means someone probably a virus is faking your name as a sender and sending this person a mail but there's no such a person there. When an e-mail virus infests a sytem it copies itself and gets the addresbook of the infected sytem and selects persons from it randomly as senders and recipients. This means that if the receiver is not a valid user at that company it will respond that there's no such user there and this is the notification. It also means that the sender of this email company is not avware of SPAM and back-scatter. This is back-scatter and considered as bad as spamming. An e-mal server should respond to the sender during the initial conversation not accept it then return it as this server does.

This is not an invalid email address. We received a message from them and replied to the message and it worked. The next time we sent a new message to the address, we received this error. We have seen this in the past as well. We occassionally have the error we email addresses that we have sent in the past many times.
The question is why do we occassionally receive this message?
Thanks,

Ok so does it only happen with the one address?
It could just be the outlook email address cache if thats the case.

As alanhardisty points out it seems that there's a configuration error at their side. There's nothing you can do about it. When your SMTP server wants to deliver e-mail to their site the server responds that this is not a valid address. So this is not your server's fault and you can do nothing about it.
All you can do is to contact the firm and notify them about the problem.

My comment 24867057 I feel has answered this question, and it seems that KeremE agrees with me in his comment 24867519

Most mail traffic works normally inbound and outbound. We do not have an outbound filter. This is an Exchange 2003 server.
Thanks!
