Okay - that rules that out ;-)

I've look at the code for the function quite a bit today (as I wasn't not
too familiar with it - even though I have done quite a bit of work in smtp.c
recently).

I couldn't see anything obvious that added a dot myself but did wonder if it
was something to do with the <CR><LF>.<CR><LF> searching and reassembly but
to be honest with you I don't think it is this as you only have <CR><LF> at
the end of your buffer so no match should be found.

Saying that, are we are sure that it is a dot character and not an
unprintable character (such as a trailing zero or other value that your
dump() function is outputting as a dot) ?

Kind Regards

Steve
