What do you mean by "One out of many addresses fails"? Do messages
to this address sit in the k9 outbox on your device, or is it that
they simply aren't delivered to the inbox of the recipient?

Assuming that the messages aren't sitting in the k9 outbox, do you
use the same outgoing mail server for both your outlook and k9 mail?
If these are not the same, the issue may be that the recipient's
mail environment rates your two outgoing mail servers differently,
and so your k9 mail may well be falling into the recipient's spam
boxes, or may simply be being tossed earlier on the recipient's
side, in a way that doesn't generate delivery rejections.

If your outgoing mail server settings are the same for outlook and
k9 it still could be that the recipient's mail environment sees the
k9 mail signature (which could include cell-data paths) in a less
desirable way than it does the outlook mail, and so is shunting it
aside.

Assuming you don't have access to the mail logs for the outgoing
mail server you use for k9, I would suggest, as a start, that the
recipient check their spam mail box to see if things are getting
delivered there.

By the way, once a message has been accepted by a mail client's
outgoing mail server the mail client isn't the one that would/should
generate the non-delivery report. That should come from either the
outgoing mail server (e.g., on delayed delivery failure) or the
recipient's mail server.

Messages just vanish. The mail server is the same for both (and also a zen server). Other mails to zen customers (via a domain forwarding service) are fine

 Further investigation points to the link between recipient and their mail server. Messages from various sources have been recieved afer a long (days) delay.
