introduced which is incompatible with the latest minor versions of python
3.6/7/8

In the process of sending an email the addresses is sanatized:
django/core/mail/message.py:98 => def sanitize_address(addr, encoding)
The Name portion is encoded via the Header class
email.header.Header.encode which will introduce newlines at 75 characters.
Unfortunately the most recent python security update no longer allows that
to happen. So when Address(nm, addr_spec=addr) is called in
sanitize_address a new error is raised from the Python Standard library.
The update to python can be found here:

Essentially Django can no longer send emails with names longer then 75
chracters.
