From what I can tell, this may be a limitation of the validate plugin. There are several options for triggering the validation (which is what you want to do) given at http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation/validate#toptions but I don't see a way to trigger validation on one element when another element changes.

Your best bet is to place your validation code in something like this:

$('select#siteid').onChange(function(){
        $('form.validatedform').validate({ 
                 rules:{
                       email: {
                              required: true,
                              email: true,
                              remote: 'emailcheck2.asp?siteid=' + $('#siteid').val()
                       }
                  }
         });
  });
