Any idea why we can create distribution lists with a "." in the email address (name.dep@contoso.com) but are unable to do so for O365 groups?
Will this be be possible in the future?
Thanks!

Solutionok, apparently it's in the works:

The reason is that Groups uses the alias (identifier) as the basis for the email address assigned to the group. You can give a group whatever email address you want afterwards.
Set-UnifiedGroup -Id Group -PrimarySmtpAddress My.Group.Is.Great@Mydomain.com
