your host tells that the user is unknown.

The relay - here represented as host XXXXX[XXXXX] does not know that the user exists -> check the mail logs at 'host XXXXX[XXXXX]'

I hope this helps!
 
This logline is not from receiver verification - it is from the attempt to actually deliver the mail - which is not possible, because the downstream server says the user does not exist
