To help resolve issues with email delivery to external recipients in Exchange:
- Verify that the domain MX record is set up and propagated properly for the recipient domain.
- Verify the sending domain name in the message’s Return-Path header.
- Ensure DNS resolution from the sending server to the recipient server.
- Confirm that the recipient’s mailbox is not full.
- Check for external content that may be blocked by the receiving server.
- Check whether the size of the message exceeds allowed size limits.
- Confirm the recipient mailbox exists.
