| Nice theory, but it doesn't actually match reality:
|
| .
|
| (this is being sent via my IMP install with the mailer set to SMTP)
|
| Probably, you have an old and buggy PEAR Mail package (or potentially
| Net_SMTP).

Or, from config/conf.php:
// The 'sendmail' driver usually needs the path to the sendmail binary.
// Additionally, we want to use the '-oi' argument so that sendmail does not
// interpret a single '.' in the body of a message as the end of input.
$conf['mailer']['params'] = array(
    'sendmail_path' => '/usr/sbin/sendmail',
    'sendmail_args' => '-oi'
);
