Actually, you are in the node nuscc.nus.sg and your intended correspondent
is in the node solomon.technet.sg  .  There is no trailing '.' on the
end of domain names.  Some software permits an extra '.', but RFC1123
explicitely disallows the trailing '.' on email addresses.

  Your trailing '.' confused the mail software on solomon.
