I'll answer my own question.  Removing "." from the %orgname%  fixed it.  I
really should read the comments huh!  Thanks fellas, all is well now.

The %org-name% is "havertys.com", is that bad?

Alex

sounds like the %org-name% in the MailScanner.conf as a '.' or someother

Not one of Symantecs products on the remote end is it? They are well
known on this list for being pedantic about this issue in the headers.
