I'm setting up an smtp/cyrus mail server for some folks to use in their
company. It'll be mostly internal, but of course some will go out to other
folks.

They want to use dotted names to the left of the @, eg,
lee.thomison@bozo.com instead of leethomison or lee_thomison.

I have a vague nagging rememberance of some subtle sneaky nasties and
gotchas that can happen if we use dots to the left of the @ so it's a bad
idea. Is this right, or does it matter?

thanks!

Lee
