My best is it's not set up properly. Yes, I have heard from many that
think it is, but these days with cloud based email, the IBM SMTP server is
quite a chore to set up properly, if you can get it working at all with
authentication and TLS/SSL.
But normally when it goes to some, and not others, it's because you have it
set up incorrectly and you're delivering email directly from your IBM i to
the recipient (ie, you're skipping the mail router because of the setup).
So, some email recipient's servers will take it, and others won't.. mainly
because they can't do a reverse DNS lookup on the IP being reported by your
system.
So in a nutshell, email should go:
IBMi ---> Mail router (in house exchange server, Gmail, Office 365, etc)
---> recipient
Yours is most likely going:
IBMi ----> recipient
Which is incorrect. While I don't really work with the IBM SMTP server
anymore, I do offer solutions to make things a LOT easier to set up and
configure, and even offer the tools to use for free for debugging.
Here's an article with much more information:

It works to my business address but not to my personal email account.
