I believe the dash in question is the minus sign, found between 0 and = on the
top keyboard row, and at the upper right corner of the number pad. Is this what
should be used as a standard 'dash', or is there a better one somewhere? :)
It entirely depends what your computer does with it. Some helpful
programs figure that a hypen is ugly and substitute in something more
beaufiful.
?? I should note that the dash is both in the domain name and in the from name.
Example: BRAND - Daily <newslet...@brand-daily.com>
?? I'm sure there are many domains with dashes, so I doubt it would pose any
issues, but I wonder if Google doesn't like the dash in the name for some
reason.

I'll bet anyone ten dollars that it's a rule misfiring on the hyphen, and
that it will eventually clear up.
Assuming there's no punycode-encoded weirdness or cyrillic lookalike
There are a lot of characters that look like a hyphen, including several
flavors of dash. A-labels (the real name of labels that include punycode)
should not be a problem, but non-ASCII characters in the mailbox should
fail unless your mail system supports EAI which it probably doesn't.
