Kase, theres a reason for it. It may be the company's default email, it may be because its been like that in MS and we are just migrating it, or maybe because my boss like it as it is, .. there's a lot of reason
Anyway, I have gound a way to my own problem (actually, I just found a backdoor).
We tried to edit the passwd and do everthing manually. At least it works for now, I just hope someone has a better I dea than this because I might encounter this again and have to do 1000+ users.
Buti nalang may scriipt hehehe..

er. why would you like to create such username? why not just use a "-"
instead. Probably they've removed it because it caused problems on
previous versions, like for example: apache would have a hard time parsing
urls like http://mydomain.com/~foo.bar, apache might mistake it for a file
or something.
