Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/jberkel/sms-backup-plus/issues/595

My phone provider uses text containing a whitespace as SMS-sender. Messages get backed up with these headers:

...
From: SMS-Absender O2 <o2 Team@unknown.email>
...
X-smssync-address: o2 Team
X-smssync-datatype: SMS
...

Polling mails containing the created email address does not work
fetchmail: SMTP error: 501 <o2 Team@unknown.email>: "@" or "." expected after "o2"

Adding quotes around the local part or replacing the blank by an underscore should make the address valid.

As workaround I added a syntactically correct email address to my address book. But that only works for known senders, so a real fix would be great.
