what's this bullshit?
From: <9fans-bounces+boyd=insultant.net@cse.psu.edu>
perhaps it's this:

Subject: Re: [9fans] first capital letter in function names at man
pages, why?
Illegal-Object: Syntax error in From: address found on
ams001.ftl.affinity.com:
From: Fco.J.Ballesteros<nemo@lsub.org>
^-missing end of mailbox
the above From: address is illegal. it's a route-addr with a non-null
phrase.
trouble is, the non-null phrase contains dots and _that_ is illegal. it
should
be placed inside a quoted-atom:
"Fco.J.Ballesteros"
it don't matter to jesus ...

The idea is that outgoing messages from a mailing list will arrange
for the envelope to say who each message was intended for, so bounces
can be reliably identified. (Knowing which bouncing subscription to
unsubscribe is effectively impossible otherwise, given forward files
and list exploders and whatnot.)
The header should be vanilla, though. Where did you see that one?

True. Is that a upas generated header?

It's a hand-generated header.

nah, mailing list. it seems to be trying to parse a 'group', which used to bust
micro$sloth user agents, which (iirc) you can't have in a To: field, but you
can have:
To: Angry Gun Toting Meat Eating People: <boyd@insultant.net>,
<Donald.Rumsfeld@nra.org>;
