Read man sendmail(8) and look for "-i".

It also leaves zombie sendmail processes ala:

Looks like fetchmail doesn't call wait() to collect it.

It seems like somewhere along the line the "." is not being
escaped properly, as I believe it needs to be for SMTP.

No, all is fine, you just need to configure your sendmail properly.
