    RFC 821 (SMTP commands) and 822 (message headers) say that the
    address local-part must be quoted if it ends in ., so you probably
    want to stop using names ending in . as soon as practical.

    Due to implementation artefact, alias lookup keys use the quoted
    form, while other Postfix maps use the unquoted form.
