As required by RFC 5321 and predecessors, a local-part with

Making this configurable makes no sense as you would just move the
problem to a remote MTA that is not under your control.
You can configure Postfix to reject recipients with adjacent dots.
/etc/postfix/main.cf:
smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
pcre:/etc/postfix/idiot_filter
permit_mynetworks
reject_unauth_destination
/etc/postfix/idiot_filter:
/\.\./ reject Syntax rejected by idiot filter
