I always talk to the public internet via spamgourmet.com.  That's why
the To: line is very long.  It also means the problem could easily be on
spamgourmet.com.  However, I checked that by sending long To: line
messages via spamgourmet to my own addresses and it worked fine.

For specifics, a To: line that works looks like this:

To: REDACTED.REDACTED.REDACTED.ubuntu-phone#lists.launchpad.net@xxxxxxxxxx

To: lines that don't work look like this, spilling over onto a second line:

To: "REDACTED REDACTED.REDACTED.ubuntu-phone#lists.launchpad.net"
 <REDACTED.REDACTED.REDACTED.ubuntu-phone#lists.launchpad.net@xxxxxxxxxx>

Of course, by the time it's got through spamgourmet it won't look like
that.  But after testing I can see it's still a longer line.

To clarify: are you looking at the message that came out of the Ubuntu
mail list server or the message that went into it (i.e., are you
Canonical)?  I wouldn't be at all surprised if things got changed a bit
on their way through.

Anyway, I'm not offering a diagnosis, just a hint at best :-)
