I think Nico is talking about the extra greater-than symbol on the front
of the email address. iirc (and I am not very good at these things) a
greater than symbol is a special character, and therefore is probably
confusing exim.
Just because a MUA accepts an address doesn't mean it is valid. And
visa-versa for that matter.
Humour us - get rid of it and see if it works.

So he took a large mouthful, and he gave a large crunch.
"_Ow!_" said Tigger.
He sat down and put a paw in his mouth.
"What's the matter?" asked Pooh.
"_Hot!_" mumbled Tigger.
"Your friend," said Eeyore, "appears to have bitten on a bee."
