Details:

The add_mail_brackets option seems wrongly defined. It defaults to false and
the description says "Does your mail-server need <...> around addresses",
suggesting that it's a workaround. RFC 5321, however, specifies that these
brackets are required:

  4.1.2. Command Argument Syntax

  […]
  Reverse-path   = Path / "<>"
  Forward-path   = Path
  Path           = "<" [ A-d-l ":" ] Mailbox ">"
  […]

The default should thus be true and the description "set to false if your
mail server does not know how to handle angle-brackets around addresses (RFC
5321)".

Ideally, the option should be removed and replaced with
"omit_mail_brackets", defaulting to false and with description "set to true
if your mail server does not implement RFC 5321 correctly and cannot handle
angle-brackets around addresses."
