From: headers begin with "From:", so I suppose that you meant that
the header looks like this:
From: Some Vendor: Extra Text <ord...@example.com>
The problem is that this is invalid RFC822 syntax.
A workaround is to disable Postfix address rewriting, but I expect
that doing so will break a ton of other things.

It's better not to feed garbage into Postfix.
