From the documentation:

strip_trailing_dot
Use: main
Type: boolean
Default: false

If this option is set, a trailing dot at the end of a domain in an address
is ignored. If this is in the envelope and the message is passed on to
another MTA, the dot is not passed on. If this option is not set, a dot at
the end of a domain causes a syntax error. However, addresses in header
lines are checked only when an ACL requests header syntax checking.
