Well, the extra appostrophe--I'm pretty sure--makes the To: header invalid (per mail RFCs). I say "pretty sure" since the variety of valid address forms boggles the mind--or at least this mind. So it would appear that the Mailman code doesn't find a *valid* list address in the To: header, so it ignores what is there. Good luck getting her to fix it...ISPs waste a lot of support time on bogus Address Book entries. --John ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org 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/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
