RFC-821 says:
Before sending a line of mail text the sender-SMTP checks the first
character of the line. If it is a period, one additional period is
inserted at the beginning of the line.
If you observe truncated messages from everywhere, the problem must be
at the receiving SMTP agent. If you observe them only in messages from
a particular site, the problem is with the sending SMTP agent at that
site.
The second-last line of this message contains a single dot. The last
line contains "AMC".
