Dotted email address rejections
I'm getting the following email failure when attempting to send email to
firstname.lastname@somedomain.com
firstname.lastname@somedomain.com
Could not connect to SMTP host: mail.somedomain.com., port: 25
I am able to ping mail.somedomain.com and can also send email to the
recipient using Yahoo. I just can't get it to go through James. Could
the problem somehow be a parsing problem related to the "dot" between the
firstname and lastname?

They block based upon your IP address. So you may need to follow their
directions to have your server re-tested.

Well, the interesting thing is that I was not hosting my own email (or
web) server at that time. I had been hosted on Burlee (now Interland) and
my ISP is Charter. I have only been doing my own hosting for about three
weeks.

Rich,
Contact the site that is blocking you. My guess is that your presence in
the SORBS DNSRBL is blocking you. Back on August 7th, they detected proxy
ports available on your server.

Well, I've looked at the site and browsed through all the relevant info
but still don't understand why mail from my server might be blocked.
Guess I don't sufficiently understand all the data that I am seeing.

Well, at least now I know what is going on. It seems this destination
thinks that I'm on the Realtime Blackhole List. However when I go to
http://mail-abuse.org/rbl/removal.html and test my IP address it tells me
that I'm not on the list. So..... I have email in to them to find out
what is going on.
Thanks.

try
telnet mail.somedomain.com smtp
and see if that connects.
