Mailman's source code probably doesn't impose enough restrictions to prevent list admins getting into trouble. Your list name will have to serve as: 1. an addr-spec as defined in section 3.4.1 of rfc 2822 2. a directory name in the file system 3. part of a URL path Prgmatically, you probably want list names that are straightforward to enter on the command line and do not include characters that have to be escaped in URLs (&, + and such). Also kepp in mind that there are a set of mail aliases for each list: <listname>, <listname>-owner, <listname>-request ... If it were me I'd stick to a-z, A-Z, 0-9 and - (hyphen) and keep my sanity. >Ellen Spertus > > >_______________________________________________ >Mailman-Developers mailing list >[EMAIL PROTECTED] >http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers
