It's not hard to believe, at all.

As I understand it, Exchange on NT 4.0 (whatever version of exchange
it is, I forget), originally shipped with dot-stuffing[1] busted.



[1] I assume by 'dot-stuffing', you mean prepending a '.' to any
lines that start with a '.', so the receiving MTA can strip the
extra '.'
