In your software version, IMail uses 'unknown user' as a generic message in bounces. Since it doesn't sound generic, people often interpret it literally. In fact, though, the closest you will come to getting debug info on a rejected message is from your logs. What sings out from the log is the 553 rejection text 'Relay Tested. . . ' from the remote server. This is because your server is listed as an open relay by the NJABL blacklist. It's clear that this is why your messages are getting rejected, but it's also clear that your server does not always connect to their side successfully (thus precluding the outright rejection if the connection never happens, and causing intermittent changes in the behavior of a given message). The failures to connect may be due to temporary TCP-level blackholing that occurs for a given amount of time after each SMTP-level rejection to save resources on their side. Either way, you have to get delisted.
