When debbugs resends your messages to the bug list, the receiving
server rejects them:

    2010-07-10 19:00:02 1OXip3-0003ft-OZ ** address@hidden R=dnslookup
    T=remote_smtp: SMTP error from remote mail server after end of data:
    host eggs.gnu.org [140.186.70.92]: 550 Invalid address in message header


I wonder if it does not like the way your name is encoded.
See for example

http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?msg=18;mbox=yes;bug=6607

From: address@hidden (Johan =?UTF-8?Q?Bockg=C3=A5rd)?=

Extra characters after the closing ')'?

I would not know if this is a debbugs bug or not. Looks like it might
be, since the input messages do not have this form.

Try changing your name! :)

(BTW, it is not just replies, see eg #6607. The first message never
reached the list either.)
