it means that the address JACK@PLPUAM11.AMU.EDU.PL  is invalid.

The Columbia mailer has the bad habit of accepting RCPT TO to
addresses that aren't valid, and then returning an error after
the DATA phase.  It's not usually a problem unless there are
multiple recipients and delivery for some of them temp-failed.
But the error message is pretty hard to decipher.
