Lately I've run across a few sites (American Express comes to mind) that would not allow two .'s to the left of @ in email addresses. Meh.

It happened to me also.
It sounds like some email validating code are not so good...

We just added the tilde ~ as an alternative delimiter, so you can use that instead of a dot (or instead of one of the dots). Maybe that'll help.
That is:
word~num~spamcowboy@spamgourmet.com
now works, and so does
word.num~spamcowboy@spamgourmet.com
etc.
