(1) [Specific fix] If you set the strip_trailing_dot option, Exim will
strip a trailing dot from any address that has one.
(2) [General fix] You should set the "skip_syntax_errors" option on the
director that is doing the address expansion. This is appropriate for
mailing lists where the entries are unchecked. The syntax error will be
logged, but the remainder of the list will be processed. The next
version of Exim has an option for sending a message to the mailmaster
when it skips a bad address.
