The message could not be delivered because the recipient's destination email system is unknown or invalid
For some reason one user cannot send an email to a recipient who is also on the same domain (internal email), it is bounced back with Delivery Status Notification (Failure).
No one else has this problem. Should I rebuild the Recipient Update Service? The domain was changed a while back from .biz to .net. Though it is only a week since the problem happened.

also check that the autocomplete does not mess up the email address.
delete the nk2 file if that is the case
one last thing:
go into the outlook properties of the email address you are sending to and change it from MAILTO: to SMTP.

The location of the NK2 file of Outlook
The location of the NK2 AutoCompelete file created by Outlook might be different from one computer to another, depending on the operating system and the version of Outlook.
Here's the rules for finding the location of your NK2 file:

The location of the nk2 file is C:\Documents and Settings\[User Profile]\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
The name of the NK2 file is identical to the Outlook profile name, with .nk2 extension.
For Outlook 2003/2007 with Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows server 2008:
The location of the nk2 file is C:\Users\[User Profile]\AppData\Roaming\M
The name of the NK2 file is identical to the Outlook profile name, with .nk2 extension.
For Outlook 2010 with Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows server 2008:
The nk2 file is located in C:\Users\[User Profile]\AppData\Local\Mic

I deleted the NK2 file but no luck. I then released when I copied the email address which was sent to me and pasted in a new email the email would be sent successfully. In outlook I emptied the auto-complete mail and it works fine now.
good to hear that you resolved the issue, one thing that i wanted to let you know is that NK2 is where the auto-complete file stores all its values. Anyway as long as it works all is well in the world :-)
