Some software author assumes that it can take an address form that
is valid in message headers:
To: "full name" <[email protected]>
and then use that same form in RCPT TO commands.
The correct RCPT TO command syntax is:
RCPT TO:<[email protected]>
as defined in RFC documents 20 years ago.
Yes, the software's quoting algorithm is busted, too.
