According to RFC 2822's grammar, that's not "an un-quoted name part that includes a dot", that's a syntax error. The user who's sending that stuff should be advised to get a compliant MUA or fix their configuration. Note the quotes in my "From:". That is NOT because of mailman; I've had several other programs do yucky things to my mail because of the unquoted dot. If you want your mail delivered reliably, it's worth conforming to this one. Granted, it's also true that Mailman MUST accept and parse that address (cf RFC 2822 section 4 and example A.6.1). But as I say, this is not just a Mailman issue. -- School of Systems and Information Engineering http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
