I assumed that Internal user send email to one of External domain at time user got this NDR,

check by send email using telnet to that remote domain, you should get more info on this.
http://www.rdpslides.com/webresources/FAQ00035_Send_Email_via_Telnet.htm

enable SMTP log ans send once again a email, once you receive the NDR, attach report to analyse the same.
