cannot post some times

[noreturn]

I help out with a friends site and there is this problem.

The site is about scammers. They copy and paste a lot of scam emails to let others know about scams etc

But a email that they copy and paste will not post if it contains a certain type of line. The post will fail. If I change the line of text so it does not look as if it is an email address, then the post will be allowed to be posted and display.

I have spent A LOT of time narrowing down to the line inside of a headers post that crashes the post.

It is not the actual email address either. I have tried just only changing that to any other good working email addresss. It has something to do with the brackets or the To:

Remember this site copies and pastes the scammers emails and the headers to share with people looking to see if they got a scam email. Lottery scams and all that sort of stuff.

The post will fail.
What does this mean? Do you get error messages? Do you get a response? Do you get a redirect? Or something else?

Sorry for not posting the error. I know better :)

Here is a line inside a header that was copied and pasted that I have narrowed it down to that will fail and it gives this error. I had to add the characters "testing a post" to make the minimum for a post.
