Description:
------------
I do some filtering like:

filter_var($var, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL);

and the email `blah@blah.com.` can be passed; and that must be a invalid email address cause no domain end with `.`(dot).

Reproduce code:
---------------
$var = 'blah@blah.com.';
echo (filter_var($var, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL) === false) ? 'error':'passed';

Expected result:
----------------
error

Actual result:
--------------
passed

Trailing dots are perfectly valid in domain names.

Try these, for example:

http://www.php.net./
http://www.google.com./
http://www.yahoo.com./

Now, some mail servers may reject an email sent to an address with a trailing dot, but others have no problems with them.  We have no way of knowing which mail servers accept them.
