I will contact Fairpoint to see if they can help but I really suspect it's with my Vista. The other 2 on the server use versions of XP.

To be clear, the *error* message is from Fairpoint's server indicating that they didn't like the format of the email message being sent out.
Your mail client (some form of Outlook, I assume) is the program that is actually constructing the email message (headers and all the other bits you don't commonly see from a user perspective) and sending it to the Fairpoint server for delivery.
It's impossible to tell from the information posted which end is the one with the real issue (is Fairpoint rejecting a standards-compliant email message, or is Outlook doing something wrong).
I would still call Fairpoint first, even though it is *probably* some setting on your PC. They have most likely gotten this problem from a lot of users and know what you need to do/change to make it all work.
