If the error message came from the server, how come there were no
problems with Outlook or Becky?

I haven't seen such an error message, but can it be possible that TB
checks the validity of the domain name and isn't aware that extended
characters are now allowed, so the error message actually came from TB
and not the server? It that case, Ritlabs would need a little hint.
