That doesn't seem to have been the relevant change. Looking at your failures, the quoted headers from all of them include: To: 1032...@bugs.debian.org> which isn't valid (note the closing and unmatched angle bracket). The extra headers in the earlier attempts (which I assume are internal data from Claws) also include: R:<1032...@bugs.debian.org>> which is unbalanced, whereas the successful mail has: R:<1032...@bugs.debian.org> In summary, the rejections appear to have been correct, and due to a malformed e-mail.

Bug#1032859: bugs.debian.org: Mis-parsing of message results in rejection
Package: bugs.debian.org Severity: important Yesterday I tried several times to submit a patch to fix a bug[1] I had I had reported moments earlier. I received automated rejections to my first three attempts to submit the patch. After each rejection, I modified my message slightly trying to determine what was causing the rejection. For the fourth attempt I modified the commit message of the change and regenerated the patch using 'git format-patch'. Previous to this, the summary line of the commit included a "Closes:" message, but when I moved that part of the line into the long description, my mail was accepted. I think the original commit message in the patch was getting mis-parsed as an email header somehow. I've attached a tarball of the full source of all four original messages along with the rejection responses to the first three. (I thought about just adding the individual messages as attachments, but I wouldn't be surprised if that resulted in this message being rejected by the same issue.)
