To debug this more, I need some more information:

* When you logged into tmda-cgi, did you login as "[email protected]", or
plain "user".

* Does your web-server set the environment variable HTTP_HOST

* Now consider the domain-name that was either part of the username you
used to login, or in the HTTP_HOST environment variable. Is there an
entry that begins with this domain, followed by a colon, in this file:

and I suspect this parameter has a typo in it, such that what should be
a . is in fact a :
