This is a local misconfiguration issue.
Submit a bug report to bugzilla.ximian.com. Maybe we can just fallback to using the domain literal ip address if the local host name is not qualified, as rfc2822 states (i.e. 12312.23423.1.foo@[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]). Also, note that rfc2822 is not a standard, and the appropriate standard rfc822 doesn't make the global uniqueness a MUST requirement, even if it is implied.
