Last one I promise. Sheesh I must be getting old or something. Anyway... it's 
not a dot or space but, the period infront of the email addresses in front of 
the line:

IllegitimateTo = header /^TO$/i /(\.email at ddress.1\>|\.email at address.2\>)/e

means a string including what follows after the dot. There seems to be a lot 
of "malmail" that is designed not to get to any recipient, but only to clog up 
mail servers with no such address ping pong repsonses.

False recipients and mail with recipient strings that include legit email 
address but also have infront of the string garbage characters. That line 
takes care of those.
