Hi,
Taral:

>=20
The dot-at-the-end syntax is valid for DNS (host) names, but it's not
valid SMTP address syntax to add a dot at the end of an email address
(among other places).
I would agree that the best way around this problem is to use
blah@mail.ai, or whatever. Many people with hosts or subdomains names
"ai" will have problems sending mails to you otherwise.
Personally, I'd use the ai.ai.ai domain. ;-)
