I did a quick check to see where is the dot in the raw message given. The 
answer is it is the byte 1952. This means 1640 bytes were added before the dot 
(1640+1951=3591). This fits with the fact that header could have been added by 
some mail server.

The raw message given in this bug report is 4487 bytes long. With the 1640 
bytes added somewhere before the dot (probably in the header), the total is 
now 6127 bytes, so bigger than the 6021 bytes announced by exim. Besides, the 
mailing list has a footer/signature, there should be at least 198 more bytes 
for the signature.

There is also the -- which is not on a new line in the copy of the mail on 
gmane, I don't know if all this is relevant but I thought it wouldn't hurt to 
put my thought here.
