The easy way is 'Dot followed by space'.

Every time a line starts with a dot, you should actually send two dots. eg.:

Should give you the desired result: A single dot. The server would then remove the first dot. This is also known as 'dot-stuffing' (try looking it up). See also SMTP dot stuffing - who does it and who removes it
