4.1.5

Delayed Message: valid email address

The email message has not yet been delivered even though the recipient's email address is a valid email address.

Fixes

Contact the recipient another way (e.g., phone or text message) to confirm their email address.

If the email address you're using is correct and your recipient can receive emails to their inbox, then you could contact the email provider for help.
