    While it's common in *addresses*, it's arguably bad practice to include
    dots in *accounts* (it's achievable, but not reliably portable). FWIW, I
    handle these as aliases to a simpler account name (either in the aliases
    file or in $virtual_alias_maps).

    For example, my /etc/postfix/virtual might contain this:

                 mario
          mario
