Hi,

we are running exim v4.30 and are experiencing some problems with mails being sent through the MTA. from
what we have so far seen, it seems that when a client sends a mail containing 2 dots on one line in the message
body, that exim strips one of the dots then regards the next dot as being EOF. This behaviour has been seen
with a simple telnet 25 session ... this is what we see:

When a mail is created with the following data:
hello
.
hello2


the body is actually sent as:
hello

Similar tests with other MTAs don't show this effect. Anybody have any suggestions how we can work around
this ?

Thanks and regards,
Sue
