If you know how to use an editor under linux, just edit the /etc/passwd file. 
you can hav eusers with a dot, thoug there are a lot of things they can't do, 
i.e. talk nem.name does ot work. If you just want a mail user with a dot, 
create the user without the dot, and enter the 

name.name: username 

in /etc/aliases

Remember you must run newaliases after that

> newaliases

Hope this helps 

P.H.
