Summary: SMTP proxy doesnt work

Initial Comment:
I just changed my local server to send through
SpamBayes' SMTP proxy rather than directly to my ISP
(extmail.bigpond.com), so that SpamBayes can be sent
learning messages.

However my ISP wont accept mail from SpamBytes - every
attempt fails with the SMTP error:

"501 space seperator provided without argument"

It doesnt matter what the message is,  or what client 
originally sent it (whether Outlook 2003 or a simple
command line SMTP mailer).

If SpamBayes is removed from the loop again, it does
back to working perfectly.

I have a feeling that someone will tell me that the ISP
is not implementing some RFC or other correctly, but
that won't help - it's Telstra (Australia's main
Telco), who are absolutely NOT going to change anything
so that it's users can use SpamBayes!! :-(

Is there any chance of a workaround - I don't know
SMTP/RFCs or Python well enough to have a go at it
myself :-( ?
