Re: 500 Error mail not terminated with '.'???? ???/

One additional thought: have you checked with the receiving end to see if
they have upgraded/changed any servers in the mail stream? 

That error looks strangely familiar...

Yeah, I noticed that and haven't seen that message.  But a 550 is pretty

Is it just that one address?

What if you set up a hotmail account and try to email it from there?

Can you telnet the box?

Could they have blacklisted your domain by mistake?
