I'm not sure that this is what we need to do for this particular error. I don't think it will hurt unless there are actually valid addresses with '%' or '!', but I'm not sure that it will fix the problem described in the bug report.
The "percent hack" has been deprecated for years, but I believe that it is still technically a valid way of expressing e-mail addresses. Same with the UUCP "bang" style of addressing. I don't think that we want to prohibit either style of address from subscribing to the list. The acceptance, or rejection, of a particular address format should be left up to the MTA and the MTA configuration, not Mailman.
There needs to be another way to solve this problem.
