AFAIK, the case Gnus issues such an error message is only:

・Sending a news article.
・The name and the address in question are in the From header.
・The name portion is not quoted with "...".

If this goes for you, you need to quote the name portion in
the From header as follows:

From: "i好客雙週報[2010-01-06]-好客電子報" <service@ihaoke.com>

See the function definition of `message-check-news-header-syntax',
that runs `rfc822-addresse' for the contents of the From header.

(rfc822-addresses "i好客雙週報[2010-01-06]-好客電子報 <service@ihaoke.com>")
 => "(Unparsable address -- Strange character \\[ found: \"[_^_2010-01-06]-好客電子報 <service@ihaoke.com>\")"

(rfc822-addresses "\"i好客雙週報[2010-01-06]-好客電子報\" <service@ihaoke.com>")
 => ("service@ihaoke.com")
