Outlook 2007 multiple @ in SMTP message-id

I have Outlook 2007 sp1 running on windows vista business edition. I have an email account setup pointing at my isp POP/SMTP server. When I send out email the SMTP Message-ID header created by Outlook includes multiple @ characters which is invalid per RFC 822. In particular it gets marked as SPAM by spam detection engines.

Here is a typical set of headers when I send out email:
Reply-To: xxxx.yyyy@xxx.co.uk
From: "Robin East"   xxxx.yyyy @xxx.co.uk
To: < xxxx.yyyy@xxx.co.uk>
Subject: testt
Date: Wed, 19 Mar 2008 12:30:54 -0000
Organization: xxxxxxxx
Message-ID: < 012301c889bd$18b3cd00$4a1b6700$@yyyy@xxxxx.co.uk>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
boundary="----=_NextPart_000_0124_01C889BD.18B3CD00"
X-Mailer: Microsoft Office Outlook 12.0
thread-index: AciJvRL2+wLvIbvzTWCpnZadQdnxsA==
Content-Language: en-gb
X-2020-Relay: Sent using 2020MEDIA.net.uk relay with auth code: xxxxx
Send Abuse reports to abuse@2020media.net.uk
X-UIDL: SV9"!f-C!!Pc&#!17D"!


Does anyone know how to get around this? Is it a bug in Outlook or is there some configuration I've overlooked?

It's possible that you have some malware on your machine that is affecting Outlook, or it may be a problem with Outlook itself.

Try this first: In Outlook, Help>Office Diagnostics. This will diagnose and repair problems with the applications.

I have Mcaffee installed so If it's malware it's not being picked up by that. In fact this problem occurs on another laptop I own.

 

I have run Office Diagnostics but nothing shows up.

No Events found!
