	Files are named: "*._badheader" ?
	The underscore there tells you that the error is SOFT, and
	something did indeed get thru.

	That "To:" line would have been ok in format:
		To: "Mr. xxxx xx" <....>
	That is, "." (dot) is a special character in RFC-822,
	and string with it must be quoted properly..

	Here is some address with "@@" in it, but that just causes
	a warning to be generated, as these headers are not the
	ones what system user for transport.
