Answers.Text: Thanks much! It was a formatting issue. The .club domain has caused issues with some providers, so I just presumed it was one of the newer 4-letter domains causing an issue, but it was that. I'm set now

I looked for the error in all of my civicrm plug files and found one line in CRM\Admin\Form\Options.php that has text below. I thought perhaps the "3" was the length of the domain name having to be 3. I changed to 4 and still the same error.

  The most likely cause of this error is that the email was entered in the format `myname@example.org` rather than a name and email in the format `My Name <myname@example.org>`.
  
  While the field label at `civicrm/admin/options/from_email_address?reset=1` says **From Email Address**, the field actually requires you to enter a **sender name** *and* **email address**.
  
  The field help says,
  
  > Include double-quotes (") around the name and angle-brackets (< >) around the email address.
  > EXAMPLE: "Client Services"
