With respect, how do you expect anybody to give you an answer? You get
an error that says there is a syntax error, and you then remove what was
really there and replace it with "some.domain.com" which is, of course,
perfectly valid syntactically. So how can we tell you what the syntax
problem was if you don't tell us what was causing the objection?
In practice, 99% of the time this error is provoked by an illegal
underscore in a domain name.
