Sending mail using telnet

Hi,

I was trying to send mail using telnet everything went fine.
But I have just one problem

If you want to send a body that contains

some text
asdf
asdfasdf

..

fasdfadfasd

i.e a <crlf>.<crlf> in the body.

Then how can you send it via telnet?

TIA.

--
main(){char s[37]="CSbwjAjocpy/mw!PS!sbwjAeftqbnnfe/dpn";
int i;for(i=0;i<36;putchar(s[i++]-1));return 0;}

I think you may have to MIME encode it. As far as I know, there's no way to
escape characters in SMTP. I may be wrong, though.

cheers,

You think wrong. The SMTP protocol says that you have to double any
initial "." on send in the data part.

Well, any initial ".", or just a . on a line alone? I forget. The OP
can go look it up in the RFC concerned.
