SMTP expects the message to have headers, then a blank line (indicates
end of headers), then the body message - and recognizes the end of the
message by receiving (I thought)
<CRLF> . <CRLF>
(i.e. a line beginning with a period, and otherwise blank). Not sure why
the text you quoted above has a comma in there - so I'd try it with the
comma, with the period and and with neither to see which works.
(this is from vague memory, and after a quick look I can't find any
documentation to support what I thought I remembered - so give it a
shot, but don't be too surprised if it's wrong :- )
