This looks to me like a perfectly normal message from
Mailer-Daemon@??? to ggiles@???, telling him/her that
her/his mail to auser@??? could not be sent because it couldn't
find a way of contacting the domain hotrail.com (this isn't a surprise
since it has no DNS entries).

I think it was put in when ggiles@??? forwarded the report to you.
The non-matching "to" lines can then be explained as from alternate
exchanges in a dialog.
