Usually this error is related to the Mail Exchange server's configuration. It is due to the Mail Server not being updated to allow relay from the Confluence server. Adding the Confluence server's IP to the range of allowed relay hosts resolves this.
Resolution
Add the Confluence server's IP to the range of allowed relay hosts.
