To summarise, mail in the format 'address (Name)' was bouncing. The
gnus bug report system uses this format.
To follow this up myself, it was neither postfix or gnus.
The culprit was the ssmtp package from the debian gnu/linux distribution.
Gnus was calling ssmtp as the sendmail program.
The solution in case anyone else is interested is to
(setq message-send-mail-function smtpmail-send-it)
