That is, provide an option. Mailman itself is unlikely to toss a local part into a file path...I don't think it needs to be protected from this particular legal local part. Does Mailman accept the alternative legal form of the address: "weincek_g/li"@nogood.k12.il.us I would guess that nogood.k12.il.us uses /xxxxx in much the same way other servers use +xxxxx. In this context, it likely triggers a server-time sort into an IMAP folder named li (for lists?). If I ever re-learn how to manipulate sourceforge (I haven't done anything there but download from download mirrors--and toss out their occasional mailing to members--in ages), I might give it a try. --John ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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/
