Malformed autoresponder email

divemasterza
Since a couple days I am getting bounces from the emails generated by the autoresponder
A message that you sent contained one or more recipient addresses that were incorrectly constructed: CTA SmartBrief: missing or malformed local part (expected word or "<") This address has been ignored. There were no other addresses in your message, and so no attempt at delivery was possible. ------ This is a copy of your message, including all the headers. ------ X-Autorespond: "Pokemon Go" neared $1B in 2016 revenue To: CTA SmartBrief Precedence: auto_reply Subject: Auto Reply: Out of office X-Loop: CTA SmartBrief
It is not an isolated incident, some of my users are reporting the same issue. Any idea where to start on this one?

    Hello, Could you let us know which version of cPanel is installed on this system? You can check with a command such as:
    cat /usr/local/cpanel/version
    Additionally, could you give us an example of the "TO" field in the message header for one of the bounced message? You can replace the domain name with an example. Thank you.

    Hello, Internal case CPANEL-10827 is open to address an issue where Autoresponder messages fail if certain characters are used in the 'from' name on the remote account. This is only affecting systems using cPanel version 62. I'll update this thread with more information on the status of this case as it becomes available. Thank you.
