I believe that the regex used in mailman is too simple, maybe ([^ ]+)@([^ ]+) but this is too permissive to include unrealistic email. It should have a domain name, which is at least two part server.major. For example,
([0-9A-Za-z_.-]+)@([0-9A-Za-z_-]+\.[0-9A-Za-z_.-]+) This will exclude most J exresions, except very unlikely ones, like [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- Dan Bron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Chris, > > I bet mailman is doing this because it thinks patterns of the form [EMAIL > PROTECTED] are email addresses, > and it's munging them to prevent > spam spiders from harvesting them.
