Lazard emails bouncing back

I just sent some cold emails to some of my school's alums at Lazard, only to find that all of them bounced back to me with the following notice:

"The original message was received at Wed, 6 Feb 2019 11:27:03 -0500 from link removed [127.0.0.1]

----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----

(reason: 550 5.4.1 Email: Recipient address rejected: Access denied [link removed])

----- Transcript of session follows ----- ... while talking to link removed.: >>> DATA 550 5.4.1 Email: Recipient address rejected: Access denied [link removed] 550 5.1.1 ... User unknown 503 5.5.2 Need rcpt command [link removed]"

Am I missing something or did Lazard's email formats change?

Thanks in advance.

Hey omni02, sorry about the delay, but are any of these useful:
