RFC 2821 violation by GCC Bugzilla

- Subject: RFC 2821 violation by GCC Bugzilla
To whom it may concern:
I'm writing to let you know that the GCC Bugzilla appears to be
misconfigured such that it sends the following MAIL FROM line:
MAIL FROM:<"bugzilla-admin-daemon\n"@sourceware.org>
where the "\n" is a literal newline character (ASCII 10). This violates
RFC 2821 section 4.1.2:
Systems MUST NOT define mailboxes in such a way as to require the use
in SMTP of non-ASCII characters (octets with the high order bit set
to one) or ASCII "control characters" (decimal value 0-31 and 127).
These characters MUST NOT be used in MAIL or RCPT commands or other
commands that require mailbox names.
My MTA rejects return-path addresses containing control characters for
security reasons, and thus I am currently unable to change the E-mail
address for my GCC Bugzilla account (gcczilla1@achurch.org, which appears
to have been harvested by a spammer so I am attempting to change it).
Could you please look into resolving this configuration problem?
Thanks in advance,
