Research direction

Start at My Account → Profile → Resend Verification Email and compare its behavior with the successful test emails from Administration → Email → SMTP. Reproduce the 501 5.1.7 error and trace the address used for the resend; done means verification email delivery succeeds without the invalid-address error.
