This was over authenticated SMTP, from an end user using outlook
express, whilst I know that's wrong i think it's pretty normal -
however, that's not the issue here, the issue is with the message-id and
not the HELO.

I'd like to draw attention to your message-id here:
Message-ID: <20061125092412.GA13984@whisper>
It seems that message-id without a FQDN for the latter part is
reasonably common.
As far as I can tell, there is no exim option to replace message-id's
anyway, I understand it will add them if they are missing but that is
not the case here.
