Multi-dotted email addresses

Many spammers use email addresses that contain multiple periods. These are almost always spammers registered as such on BotScout.com or stopforumspam.com.

Examples of those that have registered on our forurm (and that we banned). Domain after the @ removed for this posting:

d.ikl.itlo.n.gce.t@
di.kl.it.l.o.ngc.e.t@
pr.u.d.e.n.t.i.ak.jug@
pru.d.e.nt.i.a.k.ju.g@
me.garer.er.t@
d.i.klit.l.o.n.g.ce.t@
d.ikli.t.l.o.n.g.cet@
p.ru.d.en.tia.k.jug@
pr.u.d.e.nt.i.akjug@
p.rude.ntiakj.ug@
pru.de.n.t.ia.kjug@

Has anyone developed a MOD to recognize these multi-dotted email address provided at time of registration so that they can be deleted automatically?
