Sherman: It is difficult to tell without some logging, but the address doesn't appear to malformed. A lot of times when this happens, the cause is related to DNS. When the message is submitted, your provider's SMTP server asks its DNS to attempt to contact the recipient domain's DNS. If it cannot (for whatever reason), the message can't be delivered. This is usually pretty quick.
I hate to suggest this at this point, but if you have another mail client, you might try it (you may have already done this) to see if the failure occurs and, if so, gives more information.
