Apparently something else is causing the delivery to fail. Exim has no
special treatment for the dot; there seems to be no reason to do so.
# exim -bt arnold.levy@???
arnold.levy@???
router = dnslookup, transport = remote_smtp
host gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com [66.249.93.27] MX=5 [snip]
Check the delivery log in mainlog, if it succeeds, it could turn out
that Gmail silently discards your message for anti-spam or other
reasons. When in doubt, post the relevant fragment of the log to the
list.
