No. This is simply a by-product of rather poor choices that went into the
original design of a number of related standards - RFC 822, RFC 2060, and
others - which makes the interaction between these protocols full of various
pitfalls and gotchas which end up manifesting themselves in these kinds of
things...
Just avoid using unnecessary punctuation in mail addresses. Otherwise, the
only thing you should expect to happen - or NOT to happen as the case may be
- is the various applications not crashing on you.
