Sending text to email address fails on new Pixel 8 phone - worked on Pixel 3

When I try to send a text message to an email address, it fails, and the phone gets the dreaded Mailer-Daemon message.  I can send from my PC, and email, to my phone.  But it fails in the other direction.  This worked perfectly on my old Pixel 3 phone.  What's busted? 
The text is to a non-GMAIL email address.  Don't tell me you don't support Texting to non-Gmail...

re: Hi DaveSMS | Did you get the answer you needed? 

Yes, the private emails with Izzy answered my questions.  The problem is intermittent; sometimes it works, sometimes the SMS is not able to be sent.  The problem appears to be specific to a single GoDaddy hosted (by MS Outlook backend) address.

 

best regards
