Has anyone had this issue? I have a server named da_vinci.sculptcad.com,
and when I try to send an e-mail to root@da_vinci.sculptcad.com, it fails.
It appears to break at the underscore and returns fails with the error
message:

     RFC 952

  1. A "name" (Net, Host, Gateway, or Domain name) is a text string up
  to 24 characters drawn from the alphabet (A-Z), digits (0-9), minus
  sign (-), and period (.).  Note that periods are only allowed when
  they serve to delimit components of "domain style names".


     RFC 1123

  The syntax of a legal Internet host name was specified in RFC-952.
  One aspect of host name syntax is hereby changed: the restriction on
  the first character is relaxed to allow either a letter or a digit.
