The mail was sended from devloop.de to sf.net back to devloop.de. But I think 
the problem also only occurs if the last hop is a courier mta. If courier 
sends such a mail to another mail server the problem resolves itselfs because 
the double dot will be unescaped to a single dot by the other mta.

Can you point me to that code? I will check it against my courier. May be 
Gentoo has patched something away ;-)
