There needs to be an empty line here!

At the end, you should have
--216.103.250.202.33.472.981725980.091.23878--

This is invalid MIME. There needs to be white space before
the "boundary", as it is a continuation line.


Two ideas:

 * I did not see the "MIME-Version: 1.0" header.

 * The MIME standard requires "\r\n" sequences as
   line separators. However, I would expect few mail
   readers (and transports) to be picky about that.
