Verified on http://drupal.demo.civicrm.org.
The error message varies slightly depending on the mailing method, sendmail or smtp, but both throw the same basic error. When using sendmail:
-------------------------------------------------------
An error occurred when CiviCRM attempted to send an email (via SMTP). If you received this error after submitting on online contribution or event registration - the transaction was completed, but we were unable to send the email receipt.
The mail library returned the following error message:
Validation failed for: John Doe
This is probably related to a problem in your Outbound Email Settings (Administer CiviCRM » Global Settings » Outbound Email), OR the FROM email address specifically configured for your contribution page or event. Possible causes are:
Your Sendmail path is incorrect.
Your Sendmail argument is incorrect.
The FROM Email Address configured for this feature may not be a valid sender based on your email service provider rules.
Check this page for more information.

This is my first issue, I'm assuming this is 'Major', please correct me if I'm wrong. Confirmed with 3.1.3.
