The problem is that the name 'kernelci.orgbot' has a special character
in it, namely "."

And when such special characters occur in email headers, the string
in question must be surrounded by double quotes.

People have to do this when they use my name "David S. Miller" as
well, for example.

So I think if you put double quotes around kernelci.orgbot when it
is provided in email headers, the problem will go away.

Please also make sure that multiple From: headers are not being
generated or anything like that.

Thanks.
