When I am trying to send mail to google smtp server at alt1.aspmx.l.google.com on port number 25 it behaves normal but when I enter data and press a single dot after new line it still does not stop accepting data and keep accepting.
====
Look at following conversation
nc alt1.aspmx.l.google.com 25
mx.google.com at your service
HELO ashish
250 mx.google.com at your service
MAIL FROM:[email protected]
250 2.1.0 OK hn8si29938637igb.69
RCPT TO:[email protected]
250 2.1.5 OK hn8si29938637igb.69
DATA
354 Go ahead hn8si29938637igb.69
Header blah blah
This is ashish.
Now you should stop

I expect that server should ideally say 250 Ok after seeing a . but it doesn't
Am I making any mistake, I hope not because same sequence of command works well with other SMTP servers. Is there any special diff rule to mention end of data while using Google smtp ?? :(
