Sending telnet smtp data command and ending with a period does not work

I am stuck in my SSH telnet session, trying to test an SMTP connection, but when I enter a period to submit the data of a test email - nothing happens. I can end the session with the control] - but I want to submit the data, not close the session. What am I missing?

Ubuntu 16.04 Client. Debian 8 server. Qmail.

Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
rcpt to: <[email protected]>

mail from: <[email protected]>
250 ok
rcpt to: <[email protected]>
250 ok
data
354 go ahead
From: Test_sender <[email protected]>
To: Test_receiver <[email protected]>
Subject: Just a stupid SMTP test

Just a test !

\r\n503 MAIL first (#5.5.1)<return linefeed doesn't do anything either)
^Q^S
-->.<------------------------------------
(single period on one line-formatting issue)

^C
^Q
quit
exit
bye
