I'm glad you mentioned that.  I just found this article a few minutes ago:  http://support.ipswitch.com/kb/WG-20011226-DM01.htm.  It mentions the same thing, and that Exchange servers are typically the ones that reject e-mail if there is a trailing "." at the end of the address.
 
Any idea how to get rid of it?  In my IMail Administrator, my localhost name is mail.cws-gr.biz (no trailing ".").  I removed the trailing "." from the FQDN on the Network Identification Tab (the machine has a different name anyway), and that didn't make a difference.  I tried poking around in the DNS administrator, but not sure how to approach it. 
 
Any advice appreciated.

Could the problem be trailing  "."  at the end of the .biz address?
