Re: [Exim] trailing dot in localpart ?

Well, since rfc2822 says:

local-part      =       dot-atom / quoted-string / obs-local-part
dot-atom        =       [CFWS] dot-atom-text [CFWS]
dot-atom-text   =       1*atext *("." 1*atext)
obs-local-part  =       word *("." word)
word            =       atom / quoted-string

Or am I misreading it?
I asked because hotmail doesn't even try to deliver to an address like
j.k.@domain.example but fails with a status 5.1.3 (bad address syntax or something).
