Local User (SM15) Sending to Remote User (Remote Mail), but local server (SM15) says "no such user here"

So I have a weird one.  I have a client who has been with us a long time,  There is a single user that is having a problem sending to a specific remote email address.  If other users from the same domain send to the same remote user, then there are no issues.  
 
What is happening is the my local user creates an email, adds an attachment (not that this matters, we tried both ways), and send to the intended remote recipient.  
 
The local SmarterMail15 server is responding to the local sender "No Such User Here"
 
This makes so sense.  
 
This is what it looks like in the logs:

Anyone have any idea how to track this down?  I cannot find it in the logs anywhere where this is failing DNS or anything.  
 
Thank you!

I have seen this when the remote address was a former client. If the domain they are sending to is still on the server, and the Domain Location is set to Local rather than External (use MX Record) this will happen.
