Cron doesn't work on namespaces with dots

/etc/cron.d/example.com will not get picked up by the cron daemon because:
Any file that does not conform to these requirements will not be executed by run-
parts. For example, any file containing dots will be ignored. This is done to prevent
cron from running any of the files that are left by the Debian package management system
when handling files in /etc/cron.d/ as configuration files (i.e. files ending in .dpkg-
dist, .dpkg-orig, .dpkg-old, and .dpkg-new).
The cron config file should be created with an _ instead. Oooorrr md5.
