I have an issue whereby whenever I try to send a e-mail to a specific user, the message is automatically skipped, with the reason “550 User does not exist”, despite the links redirecting me to the profile of the user. I suspect that this is linked with the e-mail address of the user, as temporarily…

550 is indeed an SMTP error code which (usually) means that the recipient email address does not exist on the server anymore. You can verify this by sending an email to that email address.

I am getting an 550 error from Discourse, not the mail server.

Their e-mail was entered and verified using this guide to create the user. The e-mail wasn’t working since account creation.

Kind regards
