As I suspected, this lacks -i.

man sendmail (Postfix's sendmail(1)):

       -i (ignored)
              Ignore dots alone on lines by themselves in incoming
              messages.  This should be set if you are reading data from
              a file.

So make that

exec $POSTFIX -i "$@" and it should work.
