Curt,
In that case then you're probably being blocked by the anti-spam system.
Users can set up their phones to reject certain types of e-mail or accept
e-mail only from certain sources. I'm not sure how the system works but
they can probably add your e-mail address to the filter to allow the
messages through.
I think the "user not found" response is part of the anti-spam measure as
any other message would indicate that the address was a valid e-mail
address (that might be unblocked one day and so a target for future spam).

I understand this. (I'm a sysadmin; I've run an ISP; I know a lot about
e-mail.)
The point here is that they can block the e-mail from you the same way
anybody else can block e-mail from you.
I've met at least two people using docomo to whom I can send mail from
my phone, but not from my computer. When I start an SMTP session with
docomo's mail server, I get "user not found" in response to my RCPT TO
command, though it is indeed a valid e-mail address.
