It does not like to have [], it will not work, now here is the deal.

the [foo.bar.com] is used to NOT do mx/DNS lookups, an option is to let the 
user choose this at the entrypoint and if the user enters foo.bar.com it will 
do mx/DNS lookups but if the user enters [foo.bar.com] it will not do the 
mx/DNS lookup, and then store the entire string including or exlcluding the 
[ ] in the ldap directory.

That is not to bad actually as it gives the best flexibility, the other way 
would have to have a checkbox to ask the user if they want mx/DNS lookups and 
that quickly bloats the GUI, it is simple enough to add a brief explanation 
of the meaning of the [ ] scenario.
