Try using a colon ":" where you want the dot to be. I recall seeing some of Mr.Sam's C
code that essentially maps a colon to period. Can't remember where though...it might
have made its way into Cyrus-IMAP.
Not allowing "." in email addresses is a good idea for security, specially since email
addresses usually map to directories or files in a filesystem.
