Uncertain (not enough logged information) but probably because
the recipient address did not exist.

Again, not enough logged information. This was the delivery of the
bounce; the (1) is the return-code from the delivery (which is run
as a separate process). The bounce message ought to remain in
the queue, and get tried again later; it might suffer the same
problem, but at least you can inspect the spool file.
