There is indeed a syntax error in the first line of the message header
section:

  From john at benparts.com.au Mon Jan 23 16:14:46 2012
  Return-Path: <john at benparts.com.au>
  X-Virus-Scanned: amavisd-new at sdc.com.au

The "From " line does not belong to a message. It is a mbox-style separator
line - a component of a mbox file, not a part of a message itself.
It is considere a syntax error because it is does not follow the rules
of a header field: a field name, followed by a colon, followed by a
header field body.

Amavisd (and SMTP) expect a mail message (RFC 5322, RFC 2822),
not a message in an mbox format. You need to get rid of that first
line before submitting it.
