Note that the DSN code is "4.7.1", which is:

    https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3463


      X.7.1   Delivery not authorized, message refused


         The sender is not authorized to send to the destination.  This
         can be the result of per-host or per-recipient filtering.  This
         memo does not discuss the merits of any such filtering, but
         provides a mechanism to report such.  This is useful only as a
         permanent error.


When I send a probe to <postmaster@???>, I get:

    Reporting-MTA: dns; mournblade.imrryr.org
    X-Postfix-Queue-ID: 23C8D284F25
    X-Postfix-Sender: rfc822; exim-users@???
    Arrival-Date: Wed, 27 Jul 2016 12:46:05 +0000 (UTC)


    Final-Recipient: rfc822; postmaster@???
    Original-Recipient: rfc822;postmaster@???
    Action: deliverable
    Status: 2.1.5
    Remote-MTA: dns; mx.sendgrid.net
    Diagnostic-Code: smtp; 250 2.1.5 Ok


So the issue sure looks like sendgrid is blocking the sending host,
envelope sender domain, or specific recipient address.
