Unable to relay to an internal mailbox!

Question
-
I am in an Exchange 2010 and Exchange 2016 co-existence. I have installed new Relay receive connector on Exchange 2016.
I have 2 test mailboxes - test2010mbx on Exchange 2010 and test2016mbx on Exchange 2016.
I can send emails back and forth between the 2 test mailboxes with no issues.
Now I'm trying to test my relay. From a system that is on the remoteipranges of the relay connector I issue the SMTP command line to submit an email message. The message gets queued successfully but NEVER delivered.
I then go thru get-messagetrackinglog and found the message and saw what happened: Look at recipient status

What is going on here? I'm able to send emails via Outlook to each other with no issues, but when I send via the relay I get this message? These are mailboxes in the same ORG.

Hi,
I request to check and ensure while mail relay, recipient email ID is proper.
Please check recipient email suffix exists in accepted domain.
Thanks & Regards, Kumar N

Hi,
As Kumar Nasam mentioned, you should check the recipient's email address.
Additionall, since you created a new receive connector on Exchange 2016, and you sent a message from test2016mbx to test2010mbx, the newly created receive connector won't be used in this test.

Actually it will be used.... because I'm simulating an SMTP relay message not an Exchange message.... I'm doing this...:
telnet server 25helo chau.com
mail from: test@company.com
rcpt to: test2016mbx@company.com
data
subject: test
.
Anyways you guys are right, there is a recipient policy that adds a "." in the email address... thanks all!!
