They are not. The last character before the at-sign can not be a dot.

3.4.1. Addr-spec specification

    An addr-spec is a specific Internet identifier that contains a
    locally interpreted string followed by the at-sign character
("@",
    ASCII value 64) followed by an Internet domain.  The locally
    interpreted string is either a quoted-string or a dot-atom.
If the
    string can be represented as a dot-atom (that is, it contains no
    characters other than atext characters or "." surrounded by atext
    characters), then the dot-atom form SHOULD be used and the
    quoted-string form SHOULD NOT be used.
