A message that you sent contained one or more recipient addresses that were
incorrectly constructed:
UNEXPECTED_DATA_AFTER_ADDRESS@.SYNTAX-ERROR.: domain missing or malformed
This address has been ignored. The other addresses in the message were
syntactically valid and have been passed on for an attempt at delivery.
