RE: "." before the "@"

Email-addresses are standardised by RFC822. Account case-sensitivity or
insensitivity is not. It is NOT a good idea to have user blabla and BlaBla
at the same time anyway, IMHO. Email-addresses are NOT directly connected to
users: just see "info@domai1.com" and "info@domain2.com" where there are no
users called "info" on the machine at all.

BTW, something.something@domain.TLD is OK, according to the RFC, right?
