Is it possible that the recipient has a forward rule set that's out of date?
Check the originator's message to see to whom it was addressed including
BCC, CC, and To. You'll need to check that mailbox sent items to see it.
If it only was sent to the recipient yet they got a bounce, check the
recipients mailbox rules and alternate recipient settings.
One way for this to occur is if the recipient has a forward rule to a custom
recipient that has a new address.

The message does exist in the Message Tracking log, however according to the
log the message was sent to another user (on some other mailserver!), yet
she got a bounce from a coworker's email who was probably cc:'d on the email
(the Message Tracker does not show cc: addresses I guess).
The error message as it appeared in the bounced email and reported by the
sender was as follows:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The e-mail account does not exist at the organization this message was sent
to. Check the e-mail address, or contact the recipient directly to find out
the correct address.

thanks for the tip, this is a useful tool!
best regards
