dots being stripped from outbound mail

Hi there,

I'm using mailenable standard to send out my newsletter to my mailing
list.

I have an ASP/SQL Server application which uses Dundas Mailer to create
and send a HTML formatted mail to 1,000 email accounts.

I've noticed that some of the emails received by recipients have
incorrect URL's in the mail.

For example,

www.yoursite.com/news.asp

becomes

wwwyoursite.com/news.asp (no dot between www and yoursite)

or

www.yoursite.com/newsasp (no dot between news and asp)

It's really strange. I've seen some articles about SMTP and CDONTS
issues

http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?id=286358 (Periods at the
beginning of a line are removed when placed into the SMTP Pickup
directory)

I wonder if this is something similar?

Only you can answer whether the manner in which you format the HTML data
falls into the category of explanations that matches items in the
article you posted.
There is no way for me without seeing the pre-pickup document to
determine whether the manner in which your ASP page spits out the data
in such a way as to have a period in the begining of a line.
View the source of the email message and look at how it is formatted.
