SMTP Messages end in the sequence <CRLF>.<CRLF> but if the message composed by the user contains a line homing only a single period (.) the recieving host would think the message ends and discard the remaining part. So the sending host must add a period character to every message line starting with a period to 'escape' this EOT sequence. (compare RFC 821 Part 4.5.2) -- This may seem a bit weird, but that's okay, because it is weird. found on line 89 of 'perldoc perl' - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
