 I think that sendmail know to map the left side of the "@" to the
 full name from gcos field in the passwd record.  Are you sure that
 your username is "dallman.ross"? not your email address?

For that account, my username is dallman.ross, yes.  I don't know
what sort of servers they run.  It is the German Postal System's
free webmail service for any German resident.  epost.de is the
domain.  I log in with my username as above.

Also, I used to administer a Linux mail server for a college,
and we used those types of account names.
