Stephan, I have had my "firstname.lastname@domain" for years now. There is NO
PROBLEM with Outlook 2007 handling this. Something else is the problem.
You are right. Using an E-Mail Address with firstname.lastname@domain
is no problem.
But firstname.lastname.@domain doesn´t work. (dot directly before the
@)


Dots prior to the "@" are perfectly acceptable, according to the RFC. There
must be another reason.
The Mail address is definitly the problem. I´ve tested it in a test
environment.
Just try to send an E-Mail to the address and
you will see an error message - "format is incorrect".

If I use Outlook 2007 / 2003 it is not possible to send an e-mail. I
got the Error Code 0x800CCC81.
Using another Mail-Address - all works fine.

I think the problem is, that this Mail-Address ist not RFC compliant
- Outlook doesn´t accept this sender.
Exist a posibility to disable the RFC compliant checking?
