- accepts "12345."domain.com and returns me RFC incompliant

You're right.
'.' is allowed to show up anywhere in the local-part unquoted... except
as the first or last character! Sigh.
There is quoting logic, if I remember correctly, but it is looking for
characters that must always be quoted, it doesn't check for a '.' as the
first or last character.
Cheers,
Sam
