Category: (un)subscribing >Group: Postponed Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 7 Submitted By: Christopher Kolar (ckolar) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: RFC2882 and / in subscriber address Initial Comment: Reproduced from the mailman-users list. Thanks to Bill for the followup. --chris [][][][][][] Majordomo would tell you the same thing but I agree that it is a legal address (we use similar addresses internally at work) and should be accepted. RFC2822 (http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2822.html) clearly allows it in the local-part (Section 3.4.1) as a dot-atom. This should be fixed but in the mean time I don't think you are going to get it into mailman. Bill W. At 09:31 AM 11/25/2002 -0600, Christopher Kolar wrote: Hello. I am trying to add a person to a mail list and having some problems. Their organization runs some sort of bestial mail system where the addresses are of the form: [EMAIL PROTECTED] When I try to drop the address in through the mass subscribe screen I get the following message from Mailman: * Joe Schmoe -- Hostile address (illegal characters) My guess is that the / is getting parsed by Mm as an attempt to reference a file (a la majordomo). Is there a way to force the address onto the subscriber list? It is an actual valid address for delivery. Thanks in advance, --chris ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Barry A.

This won't get fixed for MM2.1, but I'll keep it open so we can address it in MM3.0. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=643605&group_id=103 _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers
