Until there is something better, I suggest adding to Sendmail.py a patch which perhaps is not pretty (it adds a space before the infamous dot), but it works:

Sorry, this is the wrong fix. "\n." isn't the pattern that breaks it; you want "\r?\n.\r?\n". And the proper escape of a single dot on a line is doubling it (see the SMTP standard.) Barry, do you have a clue whether msgtext is guaranteed (not) to have \r's (CR) in them ? If either is guaranteed, we don't even need to use that ugly 're' module :) -- Thomas Wouters <thomas@xs4all.net> Hi! I'm a .signature virus! copy me into your .signature file to help me spread!
