Option should be gmail_remove_dots, not remove_dots.

Cool cheers, should update the docs

FYI the README shows gmail_remove_dots:

gmail_remove_dots: true: Removes dots from the local part of the email address, as GMail ignores them (e.g. "john.doe" and "johndoe" are considered equal).

It looks like express-validator is the repo that you're after.
