Both "foo@bar" and "foot@bar." are valid email addresses. "bar" can be a host name or a top-level domain name. "bar." is a top-level domain name.

That said, "foot@bar." may be valid, but ICANN says it should not be functional. They prohibit dotless domain names (that is, top-level domain names may not have A, AAA, or MX records).
