From the manpage smail(5): -i or -oi Do not allow a single `.' to end an incoming mes- sage. Otherwise, a dot on a line by itself will end a message. This is the default if smail is invoked as rmail. This is less than helpful about what the default is when invoked as /usr/sbin/sendmail, but - following sendmail's lead - the answer is that a `.' on a line of its own ends the message.
