Hey Brandon,

Yes, all messages had 100% valid headers, and a single from address.

I connot remember which special characters exactly caused this bounce. It
wasn’t all of the special characters, just 2 or 3 from my testing. Sure I
can run it again and confirm if you like.

Kind Regards,

Richelo Killian

If we sent you this message, our parser believed that you were sending us
two or more addresses in the from header.  I would be semi-curious if you
had a valid rfc2822 (or later) address that we thought was two addresses.
