Notice the address being attempted here is <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

and here it is <'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'>, those ' characters are important.

The quote characters around that second address will be causing SIMS 
to choke, it won't accept an address in that form, and nor should it 
if my readings of the RFCs are right.

What client is trying to send this message? It is broken in some way, 
unless it is you on telnet, in which case you're broken ;-)

Because your email client is being good and sending the address 
correctly, with no ' characters.
