In messages specified by the message parameter, rows must be separated by an LF (n. Each line cannot exceed 70 characters.
(In Windows) When PHP is directly connected to the SMTP server, if a full stop is found at the beginning of a line, it will be deleted. To avoid this problem, replace a single period with two periods.
