Davide wait a moment ... I quickly looked at the source and sent a 
couple of test messages, and it looks like XMail:

- does not unescape leading dots when receiving from SMTP client
- does not escape leading dots when sending to POP3 client
- stores messages in mailbox with leading dots escaped

If so, the only thing to change is to have the LMAIL server escape 
leading dots when processing spool/local files.

(Note to myself: applications that access messages directly from the 
file system should take care of unescaping, just like a POP3 client does).

Ciao, Francesco
