It is up to the receiving system to decide if punctuation matters to it.
To gmail it does not.

It is apparently per smtp rules up to the receive to decide if the
username is case sensitive.  Of course any admin relying on that working
is going to cause a lot of email to fail to be received, so most likely
no one ever does that.
