popa3d doesn't accept usernames with dots in them, so changing the
script wouldn't help you.
So what you want to do is change the dots in the $domain part of the
e-mailaddresses to some other character that is accepted by popa3d.
You should probably consult the exim docs for information on how to do
that. If they don't help, ask on the exim-users list. Please let us
know if you figure it out.
