  "The transmission of the body of the mail message is initiated with a
   DATA command after which it is transmitted verbatim line by line and
   is terminated with an end-of-data sequence. This sequence consists of
   a new-line (<CR><LF>), a single full stop (period), followed by
   another new-line."
